What each one is

React

JavaScript library for building user interfaces

React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Developed by Meta (formerly Facebook), it lets you compose complex UIs from small and isolated pieces of code called components. React's virtual DOM and component-based architecture make it ideal for building modern web applications.
