What is React Fiber?
Short answer: React Fiber is a complete rewrite of React's reconciliation algorithm.
Explain a bit more
It is designed to improve the rendering performance and make React more responsive and capable of handling asynchronous rendering. Key Features: Incremental Rendering: React Fiber allows rendering to be split into chunks, so it can pause and resume work, improving responsiveness. Prioritization: React can assign different priority levels to updates (e.g., user input vs. background updates). Async Rendering: Enables non-blocking UI updates, making React apps feel more responsive.
Say this in the interview
- Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
