Top 3 Advantages of React That Makes Programmers Life Easy

You have to agree with me that front-end development and the rest of the technologies are rapidly changing in today’s world... There was a time when front-end developers only needed to know HTML, CSS & JavaScript to develop the user interface for the websites.

But if we have a look at current market trends and technologies in the web development sector, you’ll notice everything has changed over the past few years. The way you were building your websites, the way you were structuring your code/projects. Literally everything!

Nowadays front-end developers not only need to know HTML, CSS and JavaScript but also one has to be good with at least one front-end framework or library. And when we talk about front-end frameworks/libraries, only 3 key options pop up in our minds.

1.     Angular

2.     React

3.     Vue

As we all know, all of them are built on top of JavaScript and do the same kind of jobs in the development area.

In today’s blog, we’re not going to cover all of these 3, but instead, we’ll be focusing on React only. And we’ll see how React can make your development life easy. So without wasting more of your time, let’s dive into the top 3 advantages of choosing React over Angular or Vue!

 

1.    Virtual DOM

This is the biggest advantage we’ve with React… No other framework or library offers this functionality to the front-end developers.

As the name virtual DOM suggests itself, React has its very own Virtual Document Object Model Tree. which means, whenever and whatever changes we made in the website, react tracks it by updating those changes in the virtual DOM first, and then it refreshes those parts or components of the real DOM of the browser.

this leads to a much faster response time and page loading speed as compared to the websites built using other frameworks. And this way it improves the SEO score of our website which is another plus point here.

 

2.    The Increasing Demand and Popularity

Well, in terms of demanding technology… I don’t need to talk much. just have a look at the pie chart below comparing downloads of Angular, React, and Vue JS.

 

As you can see, React is the clear winner here, dominating Angular and Vue JS by a whopping 65.5% share.

Also if we compare the trend on Google Trends for Angular, React & Vue.js, again React is taking the lead.

So with this data, we can say this is another advantage of React.

 

3.    “React Everywhere” – Cross-Platform Support

Unlike other front-end frameworks & libraries, React has the advantage of being used for multiple platforms… which means we can write the code once and it can be used for different platforms just by making few or no modifications at all.

We have a technology called “React Native” which makes it possible to use the same code of our React JS website to build cross-platform mobile apps for Android & iOS as well.

That means, you have to learn React once, and you’re good to develop powerful websites as well as Android & iOS Apps.

 

So here we have finished with our list of top 3 advantages of react which makes developers life easy…!

But just wait a bit...!

Addvic Technology is well known for delivering much more value than what we have committed, so here are the 3 more bonus points to add in our list of top 3 advantages of react which makes developers life easy!


Bonus 1: Learning Curve

As we all know, React is a JavaScript library… which makes it much lighter and easy to learn as compared to Angular! React follows a minimal approach and the developers of React always wanted to keep this library as minimalistic as possible!

And that’s why we just need to learn the core concepts of React. But does it mean we can’t extend the functionality in react?? Nope… we can definitely add whatever features we need on the go…!

React has a very huge developer community which keeps developing and enhancing the core functionalities. We can also add thousands of 3rd party libraries as an add-on to the react project by using a tool called “NPM” which seamlessly integrates with react and provides a plug & play kind of environment to the developers!


Bonus 2: Uses Plain JavaScript/ES6 Syntax

Instead of Typescript, React is purely using JavaScript to develop its applications and websites. And almost each and every front end developer knows JavaScript as part of their essential skills. So one can easily learn and start using React without having to worry about different languages or syntaxes.

If you are still not aware of how JavaScript is popular amongst the developers… then please have a look at the chart below which demonstrates typescript vs JavaScript popularity!

Bonus 3: Job Vacancies & Pay Scale

If you take a look at some popular job portals like naukari.com, LinkedIn Jobs or Glassdoor, you’ll find a hell lot of jobs for React offering you a bunch of money.

As per Pay Scale, below is the snapshot of the average salary for React JS in India.
