Let's get started
What is Reactjs?
According to the official website of ReactJs, ReactJs is a javascript library that is used for building the user interface.
But from my point of view, ReactJs is more than just a library because it provides so much flexibility for building the user interface and user experience.
Reactjs is basically working on the concepts of Components.
Where Components could be anything like a navbar, sidebar, header, etc.
In the world of Reactjs, you would hear about Reusable components frequently.
But what do Reusable components mean?
Create once and use anywhere & any number of times
That means you can create one component for example a navbar and use it anywhere and any number of times in your project.
Why it is so popular?

Also, ReactJs has a great community where you can find all your answers regarding specific topics.
Reactjs learning curve is easy to compare to other javascript libraries and frameworks.
There are plenty of resources available to learn ReactJs. I recommend you should first start with the official website of ReactJs. they have very good documentation with a great explanation.
Conclusion
Reactjs is the most loved and wanted javascript library which let you build your user interface with ease. And if you want to become a front-end developer you must know at least one javascript library/framework. I recommend starting with Reactjs.
