The JSX specification defines an XML-like syntax extension to ECMAScript for expressing tree structures with attributes, intended to be consumed by preprocessors and transpilers rather than engines or browsers. It is a draft specification document, not an implementation, that lets independent parsers, transpilers, and syntax highlighters conform to a single syntax standard.

Use cases

• implement a JSX parser or transpiler
• understand the JSX grammar and syntax rules
• build a syntax highlighter for JSX
• design a new JavaScript syntax extension compatible with JSX
• check how JSX attributes and children are formally defined

When to choose

• you are building a compiler, parser, or linter that must handle JSX
• you need the authoritative grammar for JSX tokens and strings
• you want to align a custom syntax extension with JSX conventions

When to avoid

• you want a runnable JSX compiler or runtime - use Babel, TypeScript, or esbuild instead
• you want to learn React component development rather than the syntax spec
• you need executable code or a library to install
