With the advancement of web application development, many technologies, libraries, and frameworks keep rising. React, and Angular is the leading and most popular libraries and frameworks among them. The following facts explain why React should be your choice which can be quickly, easily learned, and mastered.

1 - Easy to learn and master

Angular is an extensive framework, and to use it correctly, you will have to study the whole framework. But react is a library with very little logic and simple JavaScript compared to React. Anyone can use React as an expert by understanding component lifecycle, state management, and redux.

2 - Component Wise Architecture

With react, we can create reusable components that make it easier to run & maintain a large-scale project. So we can break down the whole web page into simple components and manipulate the logic within them.

3 - Availability of JSX Feature

Angular developers need to maintain multiple files for every task. For example, HTML files to design the user interface and JS files to handle logic related to the user interface. But when it comes to React no need to maintain multiple files to connect the user interface and its logic. We can simply write HTML codes in JS files, as usually done in HTML files, which is called the JSX feature.

4 - Access to the Virtual DOM

Virtual DOM is a lightweight representation of the actual dom. That means when you change something in your code, it's only re-render that particular part only when Actual DOM is doing the exact opposite of the process. In Actual DOM, when you make some change, it reloads the whole page instead of the particular section. This feature helps to React to fast rendering compared to Angular.

5 - Strong Community Backing

No matter how talented you are, if you play alone, you will have little chance of recognizing your mistakes. And even if you are very amateur, there is nothing to be afraid of if you play with experienced people. Likewise, you should also choose React, as it is a prevalent library and many people are ready to help you.
