React is an open-source JavaScript library used for building user interfaces, particularly single-page applications (SPAs), where dynamic

content needs to be rendered efficiently and interactively. Developed and maintained by Facebook (now Meta), React allows developers to
create reusable UI components that manage their own state, making the development of complex, interactive web applications more
manageable.

One of the key concepts in React is the component-based architecture. Components are the building blocks of a React application, and each
component can manage its own state and render part of the user interface. Components are highly reusable and can be composed to build
complex UIs, making it easier to maintain and scale the application over time.

React’s declarative approach simplifies the development process. Instead of manually manipulating the DOM (Document Object Model),
developers define the UI in terms of how it should look based on the application’s state. React then efficiently updates the DOM to reflect any
changes in the state, reducing the need for complex updates and improving performance. This is done using React’s virtual DOM, which is a
lightweight copy of the actual DOM. React compares the virtual DOM with the real DOM (a process called reconciliation) and only updates the
parts of the actual DOM that have changed, making updates faster and more efficient.

React uses JSX (JavaScript XML), a syntax extension that allows developers to write HTML-like code within JavaScript. JSX makes it easier to
visualize the structure of the UI and enhances the developer experience by allowing HTML and JavaScript to coexist in the same file. Although
React applications can be written without JSX, it is highly recommended because it makes code more readable and concise.

One of the standout features of React is state management. Components can have their own local state, and React efficiently re-renders only
the components that depend on the state. React also provides hooks, which are functions that allow you to use state and other React features
in functional components. For example, useState allows components to manage their local state, while useEffect can be used for side effects
like data fetching or subscriptions.
