<h3>Declarative</h3>
<h3>Just the UI</h3>
<p>
React uses a declarative paradigm that makes it easier to reason about
your application.
Lots of people use React as the V in MVC.
Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack,
it&apos;s easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

<h3>Efficient</h3>
<h3>Virtual DOM</h3>
<p>
React computes the minimal set of changes necessary to keep your DOM
up-to-date.
React uses a <i>virtual DOM</i> diff implementation for ultra-high performance. It can also
render on the server using Node.js &mdash; no heavy browser DOM required.

<div class="marketing-col">
<h3>Flexible</h3>
<h3>Data flow</h3>
<p>
React works with the libraries and frameworks that you already know.
React implements one-way reactive data flow which reduces boilerplate and is
easier to reason about than traditional data binding.

I don't even know what "traditional data binding" is.

"change tracking or dirty checking the model" doesn't have the same ring to it :)

Oh, are you trying to say that a declarative render() function is easier than mutating the DOM by hand in response to changes?

I'm trying to say that when you use two way data binding it becomes very difficult to reason about correctness or performance issues

This example uses `state` to track the current list of items as well as
the text that the user has entered. Although event handlers appear to be
rendered inline, they will be collected and implemented using event
delegation.
