Boiling React Down to Few Lines in JQuery

React is more than a few lines of clever Javascript.

It's also a philosophy of UI composition. It's also a philosophy of data consumption. It's also a philosophy of code structure.

Having written my share of code with both, I now prefer composing UI's in React. It's easier to get simpler code maintenance and better performance with React.

i thought it was a good simplistic illustration of react's concepts using a tool everyone already knows

React also has two years of battle-testing at Facebook and Instagram. I'm not a fan of Facebook the product, but they've got some great engineers and I trust their code.

There are sure some things I haven't covered. The major one is components, which make a big deal in factor, reuse and composition. But the post started to be too long and loosing point so I skipped it.

There are also ideas beyond React I left aside. I will probably write some follow up post later.
