What is React?
React or React.js is a JavaScript library that helps you develop faster, better and more stable user interfaces. Where you can use JavaScript to create dynamic web applications, React ensures that these web applications work smoothly.
How does it work?
With React, you only focus on the user interface; you improve the interactivity and speed of your web application. So you're not building an entire web application, but you're working on user interface elements such as a pop-up or a login container. These elements are built with JavaScript components that are available in the library. The components are therefore like reusable building blocks, so you no longer have to develop the code yourself. This is how you build and improve the user experience of your web application brick by brick.
Virtual DOM
The secret behind the speed that React can offer is that React operates via a virtual Document Object Model (DOM). The DOM is the interface that presents what your code will look like in a browser by reloading the entire page each time after a change. A virtual DOM, on the other hand, compares the current interface with the changes and only modifies the necessary sections.
This limits the changes to a page and improves the performance of your web application!
Why you need to learn React!
Speed and user-friendliness are one of the most important requirements for a web application these days. Companies like Airbnb, Netflix, WhatsApp use React to develop their web applications and are therefore proof that React is a highly desirable skill. Especially at a time where “Big Data” plays an important role and many large websites are being built, React is the tool for maintaining structure.
