Understanding the Architecture of React Applications
React is an open source JavaScript library for building user interfaces created and maintained by Meta (Facebook).
It is probably the most popular library for building user interfaces nowadays. The reason for its popularity is that it is quite performant and has a small API, which makes it a simple yet very powerful tool for creating user interfaces.
It is component-based, which allows us to split large applications into smaller parts and work on them in isolation.
React is also great because its core API is decoupled from the platform, allowing projects such as React Native to exist outside the web platform.
One of React’s biggest strengths but also weaknesses is that it is very flexible. This has allowed its community to build great solutions. However, defining a good application architecture out of the box can be challenging.
