JSX vs XML: What are the differences?

  1. 1. JSX: Syntax Extension of JavaScript - JSX is a syntax extension of JavaScript that allows us to write HTML-like code within JavaScript. It is primarily used in React for writing components. Unlike XML, JSX is not a standalone language but rather a syntax extension of JavaScript, which means it can be embedded directly into JavaScript code.
  2. 2. XML: Standalone Document Markup Language - XML, on the other hand, is a standalone markup language that is used to store and transport data. It is primarily used for structuring data in a hierarchical format and is not specifically designed for web development like JSX.
  3. 3. JSX: Inline JavaScript Expressions - JSX allows for the use of inline JavaScript expressions within curly braces {}. This means that within JSX, we can embed JavaScript code directly within the HTML-like syntax, allowing for dynamic components and data manipulation.
  4. 4. XML: No Inline JavaScript Expressions - In XML, there is no provision to embed or execute inline JavaScript expressions. XML is purely used for structuring and storing data, so it does not support the execution of any programming logic within the document.
  5. 5. JSX: Component-Based Approach - JSX is primarily used in React, which follows a component-based approach to web development. It allows for the creation of reusable components that encapsulate both the HTML-like structure and the logic associated with that component. This makes it easier to manage and maintain large-scale web applications.
  6. 6. XML: Independent of Programming Language - XML, being a standalone markup language, is not tied to any specific programming language or framework. It can be used with various programming languages and is widely used in cross-platform data exchange and storage.

In summary, JSX is a syntax extension of JavaScript primarily used in React for creating dynamic and component-based web applications, while XML is a standalone markup language used for structuring and storing data, independent of any specific programming language or framework.

    What is JSX?

    It is designed to run on modern web browsers. It performs optimization while compiling the source code to JavaScript. The generated code runs faster than an equivalent code written directly in JavaScript.

    What is XML?

    A markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

    What are some alternatives to JSX and XML?
    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.
    ES6
    Goals for ECMAScript 2015 include providing better support for large applications, library creation, and for use of ECMAScript as a compilation target for other languages. Some of its major enhancements include modules, class declarations, lexical block scoping, iterators and generators, promises for asynchronous programming, destructuring patterns, and proper tail calls.
    JavaScript
    JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
    EJS
    It is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. No religiousness about how to organize things. No reinvention of iteration and control-flow. It's just plain JavaScript.
    Python
    Python is a general purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, if you are just beginning your programming career python suits you best.
