FAQs

What is React used for?

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It's used for creating single-page applications and mobile applications, allowing developers to build reusable UI components. React is particularly useful for building large applications where data changes over time, without reloading the page.

Is React frontend or backend?

React is primarily a front-end library. It's used for building user interfaces and handling the view layer for web and mobile applications. However, with server-side rendering capabilities (like those provided by Next.js), React can also be used in backend development to some extent.

What\'s the difference between React and JavaScript?

JavaScript is a programming language, while React is a library built with JavaScript. React uses JavaScript's features to provide a more efficient way of building user interfaces. While you can build web applications with vanilla JavaScript, React offers a more structured approach with its component-based architecture and virtual DOM for better performance.
