# Libraries

For this project, we use the libraries below:

## React

Library to create user interfaces.
Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes.

Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UI.

Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep state out of the DOM
