React is de facto component-based making each chunk of functionality highly reusable. Components encapsulate logic, contain their own styling and manage their own state, enabling Mercury developers to assemble complex UIs from proven and self-contained pieces over and over again.
React introduced several performance improvements over rudimentary JavaScript frameworks from a virtual DOM to one-way data binding to the lowest-possible interface layer. As a result rendering logic is greatly simplified and avoids many of the issues that plague “heavier weight” frameworks
The component creation aspect of React and JavaScript-coded logic has added benefits when it comes to testing. MercuryWorks developers can efficiently debug and perform unit testing on each component, making sure that any component use throughout the application will be sound.
Typical application maintenance tasks like interface updates, logic changes and layout optimization often turn into a headache because of code interdependencies. React’s colocation of content, logic, styling and state control greatly simplifies the maintenance load and keeps code cross-talk to a minimum.
For any public-facing online business, Search Engine Optimization is the gateway to boost user traffic. React significantly reduces page load time through faster rendering speed which is an increasingly important SEO factor. Finally, with its ability to run on the server, React can return a rendered “regular” webpage to the browser.
