it gives coders resources for developing reusable and easily integrable UI components that reduce development time and provide a responsive user interface for website, web app and mobile app
Main Features Of React Web Development
Declarative
React creates very interactive and dynamic user interface for websites and mobile applications. Create simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more readable and easier to debug.
Virtual DOM
In React, for every DOM object, there is a corresponding “virtual DOM object.” A virtual DOM object is a representation of a DOM object, it creates a virtual copy of the original DOM. It’s a one-way data binding hence manipulating the virtual DOM is quick rather than updating original DOM because nothing gets drawn onscreen.
Event handling
React creates its own event system which is fully compatible with W3C object model. All browser’native events are wrapped by instances of Synthetic Event. It provides a cross-browser interface to a native event. That means you do not need to worry about incompatible event names and fields. Besides, React event system is implemented through event delegation and also has a pool of event objects to reduce memory overhead.
JSX
JSX can best be thought of as a markup syntax that very closely resembles HTML.It is more or less like the combination of Javascript + XML. JSX makes writing React components, the building blocks of React UI, easier by making the syntax developers use for generating these strings of HTML almost identical to the HTML they will inject into the web page . JSX is one of best React JS features. Web developers will always go for an easy way out, which is why this is a great choice for many.
