React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, developed by Facebook. It allows developers to create interactive and dynamic UI components using a declarative approach. React's virtual DOM efficiently updates and renders components, resulting in high performance and smooth user experiences. It also promotes component reusability and modularity, making it easier to maintain and scale applications.

Compared to other front-end libraries like Angular and Vue, React's component-based architecture and one-way data flow simplify state management and enhance code maintainability. React is actively maintained with a large community and ecosystem, offering extensive documentation and support.
