You don't need to use JSX, it just makes things nicer. But if your project doesn't already have enough complexity that it needs some sort of build tool, then react is probably overkill for your project anyway.

I dont use any build tool right now. You're right, I'm not building the most complicated thing in the world, but my site would definitely benefit from using react and I mostly want to switch to make future things easier, and jquery is already becoming pretty annoying.
Theres pages of content that can be sorted and filtered, so I mainly want to use it to dynamically update the elements, with the data coming from ajax calls.
