JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports event-driven, functional, and imperative (including object-oriented and prototype-based) programming styles. JavaScript was initially used only for the client-side. However, these days, JavaScript is used as a server-side programming language as well. To summarize, in just a simple sentence - JavaScript is the language of the web.
What is the JavaScript framework, and why to use one?
A software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code. JavaScript framework is an application framework written in JavaScript where the programmers can manipulate the functions and use them for their convenience.
Frameworks are more adaptable for the designing of websites, and hence, most of the website developers prefer it. JavaScript frameworks are a type of tool that makes working with JavaScript easier and smoother. These frameworks also make it possible for the programmer to code the application as a device responsive. This responsiveness is yet another reason why the JavaScript frameworks are quite popular when it comes to the question of using a high-level machine language. Let's have a look at the best JS Frameworks in 2020.

Firstly, React is the first, it's easy just to research on github, stackoverflow and google trends. Secondly, React is a library. All you had to do was to collect some data and present. How could you fail that ? :P
React is not a framework, just a library for dynamic UI components.
