What is the difference between React and Angular or Vue?

Short answer: React: Library for building UI, focusing on components and rendering.

Explain a bit more

Declarative and flexible: Use JavaScript to write components. React has a rich ecosystem, but you often need additional libraries for routing, state management, etc. Angular: Framework: Full-fledged framework for building web apps. Uses TypeScript by default and has built-in solutions for routing, HTTP requests, form handling, and more. Two-way data binding: Automatically synchronizes model and view. Vue: Framework: Similar to React, but provides two-way binding and template syntax. Easier to integrate into existing projects. Flexibility: Offers the reactivity model and simplicity in syntax.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest’s storefront is React: components for ProductCard, CartDrawer, and CheckoutForm, with hooks for local UI state.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
