Hydration errors occur when the HTML rendered by a server doesn't match the structure expected by React during client-side hydration.
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) involves the server rendering the HTML before sending it to the client.
SSR applications were often used with template engines like Jinja, Handlebars, etc., whereas Client-Side Rendering (CSR) relies on rendering in the browser using JavaScript.
Hydration errors can cause discrepancies between server-rendered HTML and client-side functionality, like event handling.
To fix hydration errors, ensure consistency between server and client rendering, such as matching props and content.
React's hydrateRoot function enables rendering React components on top of server-rendered HTML on the client side.
Nested p tags, rendering timestamps, and browser-specific APIs can lead to hydration errors.
Fixing hydration errors involves adapting code to ensure the client and server rendering align properly.
React may tear down and recreate components with mismatches to ensure correctness, potentially impacting performance.
Understanding and addressing hydration errors is crucial for maintaining a seamless and consistent user experience in React SSR projects.
