WHAT IS REACT JS?

React is a Javascript library created for building fast and interactive user interfaces for web and mobile applications. It is an open-source, component-based, front-end library responsible only for the application's view layer. React was created by Jordan Walke, a software engineer at Facebook.

WHAT ARE THE REACT JS FEATURES?

• Improved performance: React uses Virtual DOM, thereby creating web applications faster.
• It can be used for the development of both web and mobile apps: We already know that React is used for the development of web applications, but thať's not all it can do.
• This makes the process of debugging React web applications faster and easier.

There are two ways to create React apps. First, you use npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your machine. if you're using vs Code, you need to make sure you've configured your machine to run React code in VS code using npm.

We can also create a React app without npm by directly importing the Reactjs library in our HTML code.
