  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  • React source code lives in the official repository on GitHub. If you want to examine code along with me and thus maximize benefits from this article series, you may clone this repo to your local machine by running:

  • ART

    Retained mode vector drawing API designed for multiple output modes. There's also a built-in SVG parser. (by sebmarkbage)

  • react-art Located in ./packages/react-art It provides bindings to the ART library, which is used for drawing vector graphics. It's the third officially supported renderer, aside from renderer for DOM and native platforms.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • react-native

    A framework for building native applications using React

  • react-native-renderer Located in ./packages/react-native-renderer It interacts with React Native implementation, which renders React components to native views. So unlike react-dom, it's less a renderer and more a layer between React Core and React Native.

  • jest

    Delightful JavaScript Testing.

  • react-test-renderer Located in ./packages/react-test-renderer This renderer was created together with Jest team. It renders React components to JSON tree and makes Snapshot Testing possible. If you've written tests before, you are already familiar with this application of react-test-renderer.
