React

Imagine you're building a house. Instead of making everything from scratch every time—like the walls, doors, and windows — you use reusable building blocks. That way, if you need another window, you just grab the same design instead of starting over.

React works the same way for websites. It provides a common language for developers to create reusable building blocks (called components) like buttons, forms, and page sections.

Plus, React makes web pages faster and more interactive by only updating the parts that change, instead of reloading everything. So, when you scroll through social media or see live updates without refreshing the page, there's a good chance React is behind it!
