• We don’t react for a static website,

• but we should ideally use react for dynamic websites, (example: the html changes as we scroll like on X, or a pop up comes up when someone sends us a message on linked in)

• vue js is similar framework to react

• React is just an easier way to write normal html/css . It’s a new syntax, that under the hood gets converted to HTML/CSS/JS , as our browsers only understand HTML CSS and JAVASCRIPT

Why react ?

• People realised it’s very hard to manipulate DOM the conventional way, and as HTML code is repetitive, and sometimes non readable
• There were libraries that came up in the picture, that made it slightly easy, but still it was very difficult for big apps, (JQuery, Backbone js)
• Eventually vue js / react created a new syntax to create frontends,
• It makes the code very readable to the developer

IMPORTANT BASIC react jargon
