Frequently asked questions

What is React?

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, developed by Facebook. It uses a component-based approach and a virtual DOM to efficiently update the interface.

What is a Virtual DOM?

The Virtual DOM is a lightweight representation of the actual DOM that React uses to optimize updates, reducing the number of direct manipulations on the real DOM.

How do components work in React?

Components are reusable building blocks for creating user interfaces. They encapsulate their own state and logic, making them easy to manage and reuse across your application.
