Why Do Frontend Developers Love React eCommerce?

React.js is one of the most highly preferred and used open-source JavaScript Libraries available. More than 40% of developers prefer to use a React framework. And there are more than 50 million live websites worldwide that were built using React.js, from small businesses to large brands like Facebook and AirBnb, according to BuiltWith.

The React.js framework’s popularity can be attributed to its wide range of benefits and ease of use for everyone from raw beginners to seasoned developers. In commerce, React sites are known for...

  1. Speed: React eCommerce sites are fast across pages and support dynamic content across the commerce site. Plus, React.js's component-based approach gives developers the freedom to reuse code snippets across commerce apps or even multiple web applications. This accelerates the time-to-market for new touchpoints or features and makes it easier to change or debug existing site elements.
  2. Flexibility: React.js has a component-based nature, which saves substantial developer hours and resources over time. In addition, the available development tools boost developer productivity, allowing for increased development and testing efficiency. This means that making changes or integrating preferred components isn't arduous, assuring a custom commerce frontend.
  3. Control: React.js is fast to learn, and developers using React for commerce enjoy total control of their frontend technology stack without a long learning curve. Making changes to site experiences, creative, visuals and more is fast for developers, ensuring a consistent brand experience.
