React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Some of the key features of React include:-

  • Declarative: React makes it easy to build interactive UIs by creating declarative components that describe the desired UI.

  • Reusable components: Components can be reused and composed to build complex UIs, making it easy to develop and maintain large applications.

  • Virtual DOM: React uses a virtual DOM (a lightweight in-memory representation of the actual DOM) to optimize updates and reduce the number of DOM manipulations required. This can improve the performance of an application.

  • Server-side rendering: React can be rendered on the server as well as in the browser, making it a good choice for isomorphic (universal) applications that can run on both the client and the server.

  • Unidirectional data flow: React follows a unidirectional data flow, which can make it easier to reason about and debug an application.

  • JSX: React uses JSX, a syntax extension to JavaScript, to describe the UI. This allows developers to write HTML-like code that is transformed into JavaScript before being rendered in the browser.
