Core Concepts
React’s component-based architecture allows for reusable UI elements, enhancing maintenance and testing. It uses a Virtual DOM for efficient updates, minimizing direct DOM manipulation. Data flows unidirectionally from parent to child components.
Main Use Cases
React is ideal for Single Page Applications (SPAs) that load once and update dynamically, as well as for complex, interactive user interfaces and real-time applications like dashboards.
Common Tools
Popular UI libraries include Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.
