Virtual DOM

Virtual DOM is a programming concept where an ideal, or “virtual”, representation of a UI is kept in memory and synced with the “real” DOM by a library such as React. This process is called reconciliation. The Virtual DOM allows a more efficient way of updating the webpage, leading to enhanced performance. It’s like having a draft copy of a document that you edit and only applying those changes to the final document when you’re ready.
