ReactJS over Javascript

React is a JavaScript library developed by Facebook for building efficient user interfaces, particularly for single-page applications, by utilizing a Virtual DOM and component-based architecture. It offers advantages over plain JavaScript, such as improved performance, reusability of components, and a rich ecosystem of tools and libraries. The large community and extensive support further enhance its appeal for modern web application development.

Why React over

JavaScript?
Advantages and Examples
Introduction

● React: A JavaScript library developed by Facebook


for building user interfaces. It focuses on the view
layer of web and mobile apps, allowing developers
to create large applications that can update and
render efficiently in response to data changes.

● JavaScript: A programming language used to


create dynamic and interactive content on websites.

● Purpose: This presentation will explain why React is


preferred over plain JavaScript for building modern
web applications.
What is JavaScript?
● JavaScript is a versatile programming language used in web development.

● It enables dynamic content, such as interactive forms, animations, and real-time


updates.

● JavaScript can manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) to update web
pages without reloading.
What is React?
● React is a library for building user interfaces, particularly single-page
applications.

● It uses components, which are self-contained modules that define a piece


of the UI.

● React allows developers to create complex UIs from small, isolated


pieces of code called components.
Advantages of React - Virtual DOM
● React uses a Virtual DOM to improve performance.

● The Virtual DOM is a lightweight copy of the actual DOM.

● React updates the Virtual DOM first and then syncs it with the real DOM, which
is faster and more efficient.
Advantages of React - Component-Based
Architecture
● React allows developers to build encapsulated components that manage their own
state.

● Components can be composed to make complex UIs.

● Reusability of components leads to faster development and easier maintenance.


Advantages of React - JSX
● JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that looks similar to XML or HTML.
●
● It makes it easier to write and add HTML in React.
●
● JSX helps to describe what the UI should look like.
Performance Benefit

● React's Virtual DOM ensures faster updates.


● React updates only the parts of the DOM that have changed, making
it more efficient.
● Performance improvements lead to a better user experience.
React Developer Tools
● React has powerful developer tools that help in debugging and
inspecting components.

● You can see the component hierarchy, props, state, and more.
React Ecosystem

● React has a rich ecosystem with many


libraries and tools like Redux, React Router,
and Next.js.

● These tools help in state management,


routing, and server-side rendering.
Community and Support

● React has a large community and


extensive support.

● Numerous resources are available for


learning and troubleshooting.

● Active forums, GitHub repositories, and


Stack Overflow discussions.
