Why I Love JSX!
summary
JSX is an XML‑like syntax extension that compiles to function calls (Babel/TypeScript emit React.createElement by default or a custom pragma), so any JSX becomes a tag, a props POJO, and a children spread at runtime. Examples shown: declarative data fetching with a Fetch component (render-prop), using JSX as JSON for webpack configs, and safer interpolation that prevents XSS. Works outside React and gives compile‑time validation and normal JavaScript expressiveness.
