Welcome to the comprehensive documentation for React, the popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Whether you're new to React or looking to dive deeper into its capabilities, this guide will help you get started and understand the key concepts.

Getting Started

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It allows you to build reusable UI components and efficiently update and render large lists and complex UI structures.

Key Concepts

React has several core concepts that are essential to understanding how it works:

  • Components: The building blocks of React applications.
  • JSX: A syntax extension for JavaScript that looks similar to HTML.
  • State: Data that changes over time and is stored in a component.
  • Props: Data passed into a component.

Components

Components are the fundamental building blocks of React applications. They are reusable and can be composed to build complex UIs.

JSX

JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that allows you to write HTML-like syntax in your JavaScript code. It is used to describe what the UI should look like.

State

State is a way to store and manage data that changes over time in a component.

Props

Props are a way to pass data from parent to child components.
