List some of the features of React along with its major advantages.
Big features of React are listed below:
- It leverages the virtual DOM instead of the real DOM, enhancing performance.
- You can use both client-side rendering and server-side rendering, depending on need.
- It follows uni-directional data flow or data binding, making it easier to debug.
Some of the major advantages of React are:
- It increases the application’s perceived performance by not re-rendering the entire HTML page.
- It can be conveniently used on the client (as well as server-side) to support multiple use cases and be used alongside other frameworks.
- Because of JSX, code’s readability increases.
- React is easy to integrate alongside backend libraries like Rails, Node, Django, and even other frontend frameworks like Meteor, Angular, etc. if necessary.
- Using React, writing UI test cases becomes easier since components are isolated and decoupled.
