What is the virtual DOM in React?
SMRTR summary
React's virtual DOM is a lightweight representation of the actual DOM that optimizes UI updates. It works by rendering components, comparing new and old virtual DOM trees, and efficiently patching only the necessary changes to the real DOM. This approach improves performance and simplifies development by abstracting manual DOM manipulations.
