Introduction to ReactJS

Welcome to the first module of my React Quiz App project walkthrough! In this documentation, we’ll build a beginner-friendly and interactive Quiz App using React and Vite, where users can select a domain (category), answer a series of shuffled questions, and get a clear, well-designed scorecard with correct and incorrect answers.

Before we jump into the actual coding, let’s understand the technologies, goals, and features behind the app.

ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces. It allows developers to create reusable UI components using a syntax called JSX, which looks like HTML but runs in JavaScript.

With features like the virtual DOM and one-way data binding, React efficiently updates and renders components based on changes in data, making it ideal for dynamic and real-time web applications.

Its key features include:

• Component-Based Architecture: UI is split into reusable components (like JavaScript functions taking props and returning UI).
• Virtual DOM: React maintains a virtual DOM and only updates parts of the real DOM that change, improving performance.
• JSX Syntax: React uses JSX, a syntax that lets you write HTML-like code in JavaScript, which is then transformed into DOM elements.
• One-Way Data Flow: Data in React flows from parent to child components, simplifying data handling.

These features make React a powerful choice for building interactive front-end applications.
