Pros and Cons of ReactJS
Today, ReactJS is the highly used open-source JavaScript Library. It helps in
creating impressive web apps that require minimal effort and coding. The main
objective of ReactJS is to develop User Interfaces (UI) that improves the speed of
the apps. There are important pros and cons of ReactJS given as following:

Advantage of ReactJS
1. Easy to Learn and USe
ReactJS is much easier to learn and use. It comes with a good supply of
documentation, tutorials, and training resources. Any developer who comes from a
JavaScript background can easily understand and start creating web apps using React
in a few days. It is the V(view part) in the MVC (Model-View-Controller) model, and
referred to as ?one of the JavaScript frameworks.? It is not fully featured but has
the advantage of open-source JavaScript User Interface(UI) library, which helps to
execute the task in a better manner.

2. Creating Dynamic Web Applications Becomes Easier

To create a dynamic web application specifically with HTML strings was tricky
because it requires a complex coding, but React JS solved that issue and makes it
easier. It provides less coding and gives more functionality. It makes use of the
JSX(JavaScript Extension), which is a particular syntax letting HTML quotes and
HTML tag syntax to render particular subcomponents. It also supports the building
of machine-readable codes.

3. Reusable Components

A ReactJS web application is made up of multiple components, and each component has
its own logic and controls. These components are responsible for outputting a
small, reusable piece of HTML code which can be reused wherever you need them. The
reusable code helps to make your apps easier to develop and maintain. These
Components can be nested with other components to allow complex applications to be
built of simple building blocks. ReactJS uses virtual DOM based mechanism to fill
data in HTML DOM. The virtual DOM works fast as it only changes individual DOM
elements instead of reloading complete DOM every time.

4. Performance Enhancement

ReactJS improves performance due to virtual DOM. The DOM is a cross-platform and
programming API which deals with HTML, XML or XHTML. Most of the developers faced
the problem when the DOM was updated, which slowed down the performance of the
application. ReactJS solved this problem by introducing virtual DOM. The React
Virtual DOM exists entirely in memory and is a representation of the web browser's
DOM. Due to this, when we write a React component, we did not write directly to the
DOM. Instead, we are writing virtual components that react will turn into the DOM,
leading to smoother and faster performance.

5. The Support of Handy Tools

React JS has also gained popularity due to the presence of a handy set of tools.
These tools make the task of the developers understandable and easier. The React
Developer Tools have been designed as Chrome and Firefox dev extension and allow
you to inspect the React component hierarchies in the virtual DOM. It also allows
you to select particular components and examine and edit their current props and
state.

6. Known to be SEO Friendly

Traditional JavaScript frameworks have an issue in dealing with SEO. The search
engines generally having trouble in reading JavaScript-heavy applications. Many web
developers have often complained about this problem. ReactJS overcomes this problem
that helps developers to be easily navigated on various search engines. It is
because React.js applications can run on the server, and the virtual DOM will be
rendering and returning to the browser as a regular web page.
7. The Benefit of Having JavaScript Library

Today, ReactJS is choosing by most of the web developers. It is because it is

offering a very rich JavaScript library. The JavaScript library provides more
flexibility to the web developers to choose the way they want.

8. Scope for Testing the Codes

ReactJS applications are extremely easy to test. It offers a scope where the
developer can test and debug their codes with the help of native tools.

Disadvantage of ReactJS
1. The high pace of development

The high pace of development has an advantage and disadvantage both. In case of
disadvantage, since the environment continually changes so fast, some of the
developers not feeling comfortable to relearn the new ways of doing things
regularly. It may be hard for them to adopt all these changes with all the
continuous updates. They need to be always updated with their skills and learn new
ways of doing things.

2. Poor Documentation

It is another cons which are common for constantly updating technologies. React
technologies updating and accelerating so fast that there is no time to make proper
documentation. To overcome this, developers write instructions on their own with
the evolving of new releases and tools in their current projects.

3. View Part

ReactJS Covers only the UI Layers of the app and nothing else. So you still need to
choose some other technologies to get a complete tooling set for development in the
project.

4. JSX as a barrier

ReactJS uses JSX. It's a syntax extension that allows HTML with JavaScript mixed
together. This approach has its own benefits, but some members of the development
community consider JSX as a barrier, especially for new developers. Developers
complain about its complexity in the learning curve.
