React

$$ react(state) = view $$

• Library for view rendering
• Opensourced by Facebook in 2013
• Small API & “one way” data flow
• Relatively easy to understand & reason about
• Efficiently updates and renders the view when your data changes.
• Huge community & rich ecosystem

JSX

• HTML in JS
• Syntactic sugar for function calls (React.createElement())

  const myMarkUp = (
      <div className="much wow">
        <h1>HTML in JS</h1>
      </div>
  );
