What is React ?

 React is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces based on UI components. It is   maintained by Meta and a community of individual developers and companies.

 In 2011, Jordan Walke, a Facebook software engineer, launched the project. In order to simplify development and   create a more comfortable user experience, he decided to build a JavaScript library that would allow him to build a   web interface.

 Nowadays, React can be used as a base in the development of single-page web apps, mobile apps, or server-rendered   apps with frameworks like Next JS. However, React is only concerned with state management and rendering that   state  to the DOM, so creating React applications usually requires the use of additional libraries for routing, as well as   certain client-side functionality.
