An Overview of Preact

Tags: #Preact #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #FrontEnd

Preact is a fast, lightweight JavaScript library that serves as an alternative to React. It aims to provide the same features and functionality as React but with a smaller footprint. The library is just 3KB in size when gzipped, making it highly efficient for performance-sensitive applications. Preact supports modern React features, including hooks, but skips some less commonly used features to save on size. It is largely compatible with React, which means you can often switch between the two without much hassle.
