- React.js
- React is a JavaScript component-based library with JSX syntax.
- React is one of the easiest to learn, especially compared to Angular.
- React focuses on building a UI of a single page web app (SAP) and mobile app. Since React is a library, it is necessary to include several other libraries for the development of more complex applications, from which I would specify Redux and React Router. Also, React Native is an additional platform for building high-quality iOS and Android App.
