Why We Use React

Why use React for frontend development?​

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces that was developed by Facebook. It is a popular choice for frontend development due to its declarative approach to building UI, its performance, and its flexibility.

Declarative approach to building UI​

One of the key benefits of using React is its declarative approach to building UI. In a declarative approach, you describe the UI that you want to create, and React takes care of rendering the UI based on your description. This makes it easier to understand and maintain the code, as you can see exactly what the UI should look like just by looking at the code.

Performance​

React is known for its high performance, thanks to its virtual DOM (Document Object Model) implementation. The virtual DOM is a lightweight in-memory representation of the actual DOM, and React uses it to optimize the rendering of UI by minimizing the number of DOM updates that need to be made. This results in faster rendering and better overall performance.

Flexibility​

React is also highly flexible, as it can be used in a variety of contexts, such as building web applications, mobile apps, and even desktop apps. It can also be used with other libraries and frameworks, such as Redux and React Router, to build complete frontend solutions.
