This document provides an overview of React including what it is, who uses it, its core concepts, and why one should use React. React is a library for building user interfaces that uses a component-based approach and virtual DOM for declarative programming. It allows components to be written once and used on the web, mobile, and beyond. Core concepts include components, virtual DOM, and unidirectional data flow. Benefits of React include the ability to write code once and deploy anywhere, fast rendering with virtual DOM, and the growing demand for React skills.
