The React Ecosystem for beginners: Architecture and Strategic Adoption

Описание: The source provides an extensive overview of the React ecosystem, beginning with its foundational identity as a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, which is distinct from full frameworks due to the concept of Inversion of Control. It explains core principles such as the component-based paradigm and the role of JSX syntax, followed by a detailed analysis of the Virtual DOM and the diffing algorithm that ensures high rendering performance. The text then clarifies how components manage data through immutable Props and mutable internal State (using Hooks), advocating for specialized tools like TanStack Query to manage complex asynchronous server data. Finally, the source offers strategic guidance, recommending meta-frameworks like Next.js (for hybrid rendering) and Remix (for nested routing), and asserting that React Native is the financially superior choice for mobile development due to its new performance-optimized architecture.
