Top 5 key features of React

Created by Facebook and is powerful enough to be used by millions of websites. You know the answer; it is React. Fun fact - according to the statistics, React is 10% more popular than Angular. If there are so many businesses that use React library, maybe you should use it too? Let's discuss the top features of React that make it stand out from the rest.

№1 Virtual DOM

This feature of React gives flexibility and speeds up the app development process. The approach makes it easier for a web page to be replicated in React's virtual memory. Thus, a virtual DOM serves as a representation of the original DOM. The virtual DOM renders the entire UI again whenever the app is updated or modified by solely updating the modified components. As a result, the app's performance is improved, and the user experience is better.

№2 One-way data binding

React has a unidirectional data flow that requires developers to change components via the callback feature rather than directly. A JS architectural pattern called Flux allows data flow to be managed from a single place. It gives developers better control over the software and increases its flexibility and efficiency.

№3 JSX (JavaScript Syntax Extension)

JSX is a JavaScript and HTML mix. HTML elements can include JavaScript objects that developers can embed. Because browsers do not support JSX, the Babel compiler recompiles code into JavaScript code. Code is made easy to understand and simple with JSX.

№4 Declarative user interface

React makes it painless to create interactive user interfaces. React will effectively update and render the appropriate components as your data changes. Declarative views make it simpler and more predictable to debug your code.

№5

What about the fifth feature? Well, better tell in the comments why React is the library of your choice? Or maybe you prefer Angular? In case you want to compare both of them, there is a great article with detailed visualizations of them; go check it out!
