The great benefits of learning React JS
Here are some of the reasons why I have fallen in love with React.
According to wikipedia.org, React commonly termed as React.js or React.JS is an open-source front end, Javascript library which is used for creating user interface components that is extremely quick and reactive.
React was initially released in May 2 2013 by Facebook and community by Jordan Walke and was written in JavaScript. The main use of React.JS is to store data, quickly react to the changes and show the component through DOM.
The current version is 17.0.1 and this was released in 22 October, 2020. This library uses a JSX syntax which is similar to HTML syntax but no HTML syntax.
These are the main reasons why I love JS react so much
1. It is extremely fast
Everytime a link is clicked in a web page, a request is sent to the server. But in a react page, the request is sent to the react DOM server which reduces the time delay, making the web experience extremely slick, smooth and quick. The react pages load faster than the normal web pages which really attracts the customers.
2. Easy debugging and provision of different developer tools
Whenever there is an error, React immediately shows it, tells what's the problem, and gives you a guide to solve it. This can't be found in other programming languages, making it very special. Also, you can get an extension from Google called React Developer Tools that enables developers to observe and inspect react parent and child components along with the current state and props, which acts as a helpful developer toolset.
3. Easier Syntax
In comparison to other libraries and languages such as Angular, Vue, React has a lot simpler and easier syntax. Angular uses Type Script which is an alternative to Java Script. Being a JS library React uses Java Script and javascript is more popular than typescript. When I tried Angular, it was very difficult for me to understand what was going on but in React everything is just simplified and quite convenient for beginners.
4. Plenty of user support and online help
React has an official website, https://reactjs.org/ that provides various information on the syntax and functioning of React and along with this, there is also plenty of support that can be found on Youtube, Github, Stack Overflow, Reactiflux Chart and other sites. There is more support than other programming languages because React is quickly becoming more and more popular.
5. React Native can also be used for mobile app development
React Native is also a javascript library based on React's syntax so if you learn React, you can make web apps and also mobile apps easily. The syntax is pretty much the same. So if you are planning to make both a website and mobile app for your company you can use React and the development process will be much easier.
These were the main reasons why is absolutely love React and I highly recommend it to other developers as well. Although there are some cons, React has better advantages so I prefer it over other libraries.
