1 interfaces into reusable and maintainable components.
Virtual DOM
2 React uses a virtual DOM for efficient updates, only rendering
changes to the actual DOM when necessary.
JSX Syntax

write HTML-like syntax within JavaScript code for a
cleaner and more expressive approach.
jQuery: Simplifying JavaScript
Cross-Browser Compatibility
jQuery provides a consistent way to interact with the DOM,
ensuring compatibility across different web browsers.
AJAX Support
jQuery includes powerful AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and
XML) functionality for making asynchronous requests to
servers and updating content without reloading the entire
page.
Integrating Technologies for Robust
Web Apps
1
Front-End
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript create the user interface, handling the presentation and interaction with
the website.
2
Back-End
Node.js handles server-side logic, data processing, and API creation to power the website's functionality.
3
Frameworks
React provides a structured approach for building complex user interfaces, while jQuery simplifies
JavaScript tasks.
