React doesn’t require using JSX, but most people find it helpful as a visual aid when working with UI inside the JavaScript code.

It integrates with NextCloud which is a huge bonus for me. Joplin Joplin uses a synchronization feature that I like. Boostnote supports adding formulas in LaTeX. Very nice for seeing your progress at a glance. We will come back to components in a further section, but if you’re not yet comfortable putting markup in JS, this talk might convince you otherwise. For checklists in a note, Boostnote displays a percentage complete bar across the top of the note. Instead of artificially separating technologies by putting markup and logic in separate files, React separates concerns with loosely coupled units called “components” that contain both. React embraces the fact that rendering logic is inherently coupled with other UI logic: how events are handled, how the state changes over time, and how the data is prepared for display. Below, you can find the basics of JSX necessary to get you started. We will explore rendering them to the DOM in the next section.

JSX may remind you of a template language, but it comes with the full power of JavaScript. We recommend using it with React to describe what the UI should look like. It is called JSX, and it is a syntax extension to JavaScript. Boostnote is an Open Source note-taking app designed for programmers and web developers. This funny tag syntax is neither a string nor HTML.
