Explain react to 10 year old
Table of contents
React is a computer programming tool that helps us create websites and apps. Imagine that a computer is like a magic box, and we need to give it instructions so it can do something amazing.
React is a tool that comes to our rescue when we're building websites or apps. Its job is to fetch different things from inside that magic box and display them on our screens when someone opens our website or app.
To understand React, imagine you're a painter, and you want to create some drawings on a canvas. But the canvas is so big that you can't draw everything at once. So, you take small canvases and create your drawings on them.
React works in a similar way. It divides our webpage or app into small parts called "components." Each component works in its own way, and when all the components work together, they create a complete webpage or app.
Just like a car has a steering wheel, wheels, and an engine as different parts, a webpage or app also has various components. By using React, we can easily create and control these components.
In this way, React is like our helper in building websites and apps, just like a magic box that understands our instructions and shows us something wonderful.
