What is React?

Today JavaScript web application frameworks are everywhere. All share the common goal of simplifying the process of developing interactive web applications in JavaScript that can be distributed over the web and run in the browser. If you search a bit, you can easily find many that are well-supported by various web companies and that have large and active developer communities. One example is React. React was originally developed at Facebook and is now supported by other companies including Instagram.
