React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, developed by Facebook. It allows developers to create interactive and dynamic UI components using a declarative and component-based approach. React's virtual DOM implementation ensures efficient rendering performance by minimizing DOM manipulations. It also supports server-side rendering and mobile app development through React Native.
Compared to other front-end libraries like Angular and Vue, React stands out for its strong community support, extensive ecosystem of tools and libraries, and seamless integration with state management solutions like Redux and Context API.
