State of React 2023

Libraries

We reworked our charts to highlight not just developer experience, but sentiment. Be sure to explore these new grouping and sorting options to figure out which libraries get the most love… or the least!

Libraries Experience & Sentiment

Among React libraries and frameworks, Next.js and TanStack Query lead the way in terms of overall positivity. Note that some items such as useState and fetch were also included in order to provide a baseline, even though they're not libraries themselves.

My 2023 Pick: React Server Components

Eleven years ago, React reimagined web development by challenging established practices. Now, React is doing this again with RSC.

P.S. Shout out to the Next.js team for pushing this new vision forward.

Libraries Retention vs Usage

Among libraries and frameworks, Next.js was the only item boasting both high retention and high usage. On the other hand, while even more respondents had used Create React App, a lot fewer were willing to keep using it going forward.

Dit diagram toont de tevredenheidsratio van elke technologie over het totale aantal gebruikers. Het kan worden onderverdeeld in vier kwadranten:

  • BEOORDELEN: Laag gebruik, hoge tevredenheid. Technologieën die de moeite waard zijn om in de gaten te houden.

  • ADOPTEREN: Hoog gebruik, hoge tevredenheid. Veilige technologieën om toe te passen.

  • VERMIJDEN: Laag gebruik, lage tevredenheid. Technologieën die momenteel waarschijnlijk het beste worden vermeden.

  • ANALYSEREN: Hoog gebruik, lage tevredenheid. Beoordeel deze technologieën opnieuw als je ze momenteel gebruikt.
