Some of the most common questions in relation to React Js
What is React js used for?
React. js is an open-source JavaScript library that is used for building user interfaces specifically for single-page applications. It's used for handling the view layer for web and mobile apps. React also allows us to create reusable UI components.
Is React js frontend or backend?
js/React is an open-source frontend framework that is based on JavaScript, developed by Facebook, and best known for its virtual DOM feature. With React, we recommend Express. js/Express as a backend service.
Is React js a programming language?
React is a popular and widely used programming language at present since almost every web developer or a full-stack developer is using it.
What is difference between JavaScript and Reactjs?
Plain JS apps usually start with the initial UI created on the server (as HTML), whereas React apps start with a blank HTML page, and dynamically create the initial state in JavaScript. React requires you to break your UI into components, but plain JS apps can be structured in any way you see fit.
Why React is so popular?
Being simple to read and easy to use made React easy to understand and implement, allowing businesses to hit the ground running and build what they need as quickly as possible. Beyond that, React's ease of use has also helped many developers adopt the technology and make it part of their toolkit.
Can I learn React without knowing JavaScript?
Since React is a JS library, there is no way around learning JavaScript. You cannot learn React without JavaScript or without knowing JavaScript in the first place. In comparison to other frontend solutions, React makes heavily use of JavaScript.
