Here's to the 10th anniversary of React JS! Born in Meta's labs, ReactJS has become a cornerstone in web development, changing how we build user interfaces and bringing countless websites to life.
As we raise our glasses to celebrate the 10th anniversary of React JS, we're reminded of the incredible journey that this library has undertaken since its inception. Over the past decade, React JS, developed by Meta, has revolutionized how developers create web applications, making it one of the most widely adopted JavaScript libraries globally.
The Birth of React JS
React JS was born in May 2013 out of a need within Facebook to build a fast and scalable JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Jordan Walke, a Facebook software engineer, created an early prototype of React to streamline the rendering process and help developers build complex UIs more easily.
React JS first made its public debut at JSConf US in May 2013. It was open-sourced in the same event and immediately sparked the interest of developers worldwide.
Key Milestones in React JS History
React Native (2015): One of the significant milestones in React's history was the announcement of React Native in January 2015. It extended React's capabilities to mobile application development, allowing developers to build performant iOS and Android applications using the same React paradigm.
