React JS Interview Questions & Answers

Basic React Js Interview Questions

1. What problem is React solving?

Earlier, when doing web development, in order to remove, add, or change an element on the page, the entire

page had to be re-rendered.

This massively impacted the applications performance, slowing down and degrading the user experience.

That is where React came into the picture. With the concept of its virtual DOM, now, whenever there is a

change, only the part of the page that changes is updated with the help of Virtual DOM.

This significantly reduces the page load time, enhancing the apps performance and giving a great user

experience.

2. What is React?

React is a JavaScript library developed by Meta formerly Facebook and used to build user interfaces

(screens that are visible to the user).

It is especially used for creating single-page applications and allows you to create reusable UI components.

3. What are Single-Page Applications?

A Single-Page Application in React is a website that loads a single HTML page (a page that contains all the

necessary JavaScript and CSS for the application)

and updates its content dynamically on the frontend side rather than reloading the whole page.

4. How does React differ from Angular?

Features | React | Angular

Language | JS + JSX | TypeScript

Flexibility | High | Built-in tools

Performance | Fast (vDOM) | Fast with optimizations

5. What is Virtual DOM in React?

Virtual DOM is a lightweight copy of the actual DOM. It is used by React to update only the changed element

on the user interface without reloading the entire page.

6. How is the Virtual DOM different from the Real DOM?

Virtual DOM is a lightweight JavaScript object representing the DOM without styles or behavior.

Updates on Virtual DOM are asynchronous and optimized, while Real DOM updates are synchronous and

slower.

7. How is Virtual DOM enhancing performance?

Changes are first made in the Virtual DOM, then patched onto the Real DOM, reducing full-page reloads and

increasing speed.

8. What is a Diffing Algorithm? How does it work?

React compares two versions of the Virtual DOM (before and after an update) using the diffing algorithm to

determine the minimum number of operations needed to update the Real DOM.
