reactjs - What is the difference between JavaScript and JSX?

Question

I am pretty new to React, I find most tutorial talked about JSX, I have not learnt any JSX syntax, but I am wondering if the main usage difference between JavaScript and JSX in React is only on the HTML-like syntax? Or what else should pay attention to?

Answer 1

JS is standard javascript, JSX is an HTML-like syntax that you can use with React to (theoretically) make it easier and more intuitive to create React components. As the docs say, the only purpose is to make it easier to create React components... there's not much else there. Without JSX, creating large, nested HTML documents using JS syntax would be a large pain in the rear; JSX simply makes that process easier.
