React can be used to develop [[single-page application|single-page]], mobile, or [[server-side rendering|server-rendered]] applications with frameworks like [[Next.js]]. Because React is only concerned with the user interface and rendering components to the [[Document Object Model|DOM]], React applications often rely on [[JavaScript libraries|libraries]] for routing and other client-side functionality.{{sfn|Dere|2017}}{{sfn|Panchal|2022}} A key advantage of React is that it only re-renders those parts of the page that have changed, avoiding unnecessary re-rendering of unchanged DOM elements.
