About

Facebook SDK is a library that provides client-side tools for Social Plugins, Facebook Login, and Graph API calls.

It enables loading Social Plugins such as Like, Share, or Comments buttons, initiating Facebook Login with configurable permissions, and opening dialogs for sharing, fetching and updating data via Graph API endpoints.

React is a popular open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces, created by Facebook.

It allows developers to create reusable UI components, offers JSX markup support, a virtual DOM, hooks, and is often used as a base for other full-stack frameworks such as Next.js or Remix.
