## What it is
React Express is an interactive guide and reference for learning React, published as a web app at react.express. It teaches React fundamentals and ecosystem tools through small, runnable interactive examples.

## Use cases
- learn react from scratch with interactive examples
- understand jsx and how react rendering works
- get an overview of the react ecosystem tools
- refresher on react concepts before an interview
- companion guide alongside official react docs
- learn modern javascript features needed for react

## When to choose
- you already know javascript and want a hands-on, example-driven react tutorial
- you want coverage of the react ecosystem beyond the official docs
- you prefer interactive in-browser examples over static reading

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date coverage of the latest react features like server components, as the guide was last released in early 2023
- you are a complete beginner to programming or don't know javascript yet
- you want a mobile-focused guide, where react native express is a better fit
