Hold on If you understand what I meant. React is one of the most popular front-end frameworks to date.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Netflix and many more apps are built over React JS.
React Consider each section of UI as a component. Let's say your website with 10 pages has a similar header on each one, If you are working with HTML you need to use the same code and style for the header on every page again and again. Here comes the importance of the component structure of React. If you are doing the same HTML website using React JS, you only need to code and style the header once for your entire website.

It has Facebook's support and resources.
Huge developer's community.
Easy for testing.
