      What is Moon?

      Moon is a minimal, blazing fast library for building user interfaces. It combines the positive aspects of popular libraries into one small package. It's super lightweight, and includes advanced optimizations to ensure fast render times.

      What is React?

      Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
