Why we should use or learn React JS
React is an open-source JavaScript library for developing user interface (UI) in web applications. React is developed and released by Facebook. React.js offers several practical and technical advantages
Highly In Demand Current Job Market
React is one of the demanding skills in frontend development. Learning React can open doors to:
Freelance projects
Full-stack roles (especially with MERN)
Higher-paying frontend positions
Easy To Learn
React focuses on the fundamentals of creating user interfaces and offers an easy-to-use API for controlling components and state. Tailwind/MUI for UI styling, React Routing, Axios for API, and Redux/Context API for state management.
React uses a virtual DOM to minimize actual DOM manipulations, which significantly improves performance in large applications.
This is especially useful in dashboards, real-time chats, or apps with frequent UI updates..
Fast Rendering with Virtual DOM
Component-Based Architecture

Build Highly Interactive UIs
Easier to Integrate with APIs
React enables the creation of dynamic and responsive user interfaces—components update in real-time without reloading the page.
Example: Instead of reloading a whole page after submitting a form (as in classic PHP), React can instantly show success/failure messages or update data dynamically without a page refresh.
React is excellent for consuming REST APIs or GraphQL services.
If you build APIs in Laravel or Node.js, React can be the front-end consuming that data in real-time with AJAX-like behavior.
When NOT to Use React
For simple landing pages or static sites, it's overkill (use plain HTML/CSS or WordPress).
If you don’t need interactivity and are building something server-rendered only, Laravel Blade or PHP templates might suffice.
