🆚 React vs. Zepto

React is a popular open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces through reusable and stateful UI components, originally created by Facebook.

It supports JSX markup, a virtual DOM rendering system, hooks for state and lifecycle management, server-side rendering, concurrent rendering, and is often used as a base for other full-stack frameworks such as Next.js or Remix.

Zepto is a lightweight and modular open-source JavaScript library with a largely jQuery-compatible API, designed for modern browsers and optimized for fast execution and small file size.

It provides modules for DOM manipulation, event handling, Ajax and JSONP requests, and simple animation effects, supports a chainable API similar to jQuery, and can be customized through a modular build system that includes only the required components for a project.
