JS Fan React is a library, but we all get confused in the beginning coz everyone is comparing it with "Angular" which is a framework.

JS Fan but, based on my searches react is also a library for frontend and react native is framework for mobile application. Is n't it?

JS Fan these terms are used interchangeably, and i myself do not know the difference lol. Ive heard that angular is a framework coz it comes with everything you need, and more such as a router. But a library such as react does not come with everything pre-installed, you have to install certain things separately such as "react-router-dom".
