React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, developed and maintained by Facebook. It allows developers to create interactive and dynamic UI components using a declarative approach. React's virtual DOM implementation ensures efficient rendering performance by minimizing DOM manipulations. It also promotes component reusability and composability, making it easier to manage complex UIs.

Compared to other front-end libraries like Angular and Vue, React's component-based architecture and one-way data flow simplify state management and enhance code maintainability. React's extensive ecosystem, including tools like Redux and React Router, further enhances its capabilities for building scalable and performant applications.
