React.js is an open-source JavaScript library for building user interfaces (UIs). It follows a component-based architecture, where UI is divided into reusable components.
React uses a declarative approach, simplifying debugging and reducing the need for manual DOM manipulation. It introduces the Virtual DOM concept for faster updates and rendering.
JSX syntax allows developers to write HTML-like code within JavaScript, making the code more readable.
React enforces unidirectional data flow and provides powerful tools in its ecosystem, including React Router, Redux, and Next.js.
