React is a javascript library for building user interfaces for websites and web applications. Efficiency: The virtual DOM improves app performance by minimizing direct manipulation of the actual DOM Maintainability: The component-based architecture leads to cleaner code that's easier to maintain and scale Flexibility: Developers can integrate React with other libraries or frameworks easily, allowing for customized solutions Strong Tooling Support: Tools like Create React App and Vite simplify project setup, while developer tools enhance debugging capabilities.

WhyUseReact?
What is JSX and Rendering Embedding expressions and attributes JSX(JavaScript XML) allows developers to write HTML-like syntax within JavaScript which defines UI components in a clear and concise manner, making the code easier to understand. Rendering in React refers to the process of displaying the UI based on the component's state and props. When a component's state or props change, React re-renders that component, updating the DOM efficiently using its virtual DOM mechanism. You can embed any JavaScript expression by wrapping it in curly braces { You can assign values to attributes using curly braces, enabling dynamic rendering based on state or props. Prerequisites: Node.js and package manager (npm, yarn) Creating a React app (Vite, create-react-app)
