React is a JavaScript library for building declarative, component-based user interfaces for web and native applications. It lets developers compose encapsulated components that efficiently update and render when data changes, and can render on the server or power mobile apps via React Native.

Use cases

• build interactive single-page web apps
• create reusable UI component libraries
• add interactivity to an existing HTML page
• render UI on the server with Node
• build cross-platform mobile apps with React Native
• manage complex application state with declarative views

When to choose

• you want a mature, widely-adopted UI library with a huge ecosystem
• you prefer declarative, component-based UI development
• you need gradual adoption in an existing project
• you want one mental model across web and native

When to avoid

• you need a full batteries-included framework with routing and data fetching out of the box
• your team prefers template-based or non-JSX paradigms
• you are building a tiny static site where plain HTML suffices
