What is React?
React started by Meta formerly known as Facebook, is an open-source frontend library. It allows developers to build user interfaces based on UI components. It is one of the popular JavaScript libraries and it is maintained by Meta and a community of individual developers and companies.
Why use React?
ReactJS has definitely gained some traction in the past few years. ReactJS has emerged out to be as one of the largest libraries used by developers in the past few years. And by numbers, after Node.js, React turned out to be the second most-used framework in 2022 for web development with almost more than 40% of developers opting to use React.
Additionally, utilizing React has several benefits because it is a component of the JavaScript programming language. React-built products are easy to scale, and since a single language is used for server, client, and mobile sides, it results in great productivity, plus it also follows teamwork-friendly workflow paradigms, and it makes sure the UI design code is legible and maintainable, and much more. React and other JS technologies were utilized by industry titans in some of the most innovative, industry-defining products available today. Some of them are Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, etc.
While using React.js the library has one of the best optimized development interface and coding language which being one of the major reasons to use React.js for web development. And it is also reinforced with high performance capabilities to deliver rapid and hasssle-free workflows. React.js provides ultimate flexibility and compatibility making that there is good amount of contribution by the long-established community. React.js also enables the developer for a hassle-free reusability of components during development.
One of the reasons for these flexibility provided by the tool is because react has incredibly fast rendering abilities with all view changes getting instantly updated inside the virtual DOM by virtualizing and maintaining DOM in memory. And the demand for this technology is directly dictated by the usage of Redux and flux capabilities. And one of the other reasons behind the usage of react.js is its ability to utilize the declarative HTML syntax directly in JavaScript code along with the usage of React Hooks which is moderately new feature introduced in react.js.
While I was recently working on my first and recent real-time project, we used React.js for the frontend development and the usage of React.js turned out to be quite extensive and universal. For beginners like me, having only basic idea to code, react.js is easy to learn. And I’m sure with correct resources and practice anyone can become expertise in no time.
