Definition

What is React?

React is an open-source JavaScript library for building component-based user interfaces, commonly used as the rendering layer for single-page apps and modern frameworks.

Detection evidence

How Themerella detects React

  • data-reactroot or data-reactid attributes in rendered HTML
  • react and react-dom script resource names
  • React DevTools global hooks or hydration markers when rendered scanning is enabled
Report value

Every detected technology should include category, confidence, evidence, and practical risk/context so the result is useful beyond logo recognition.

False-positive boundary

What to verify before acting on React evidence

  • Server-rendered React can strip obvious data-react attributes from the final HTML.
  • Meta-frameworks like Next.js or Remix use React internally, so React alone does not identify the full stack.
Next workflow
  • Confirm React with script and runtime evidence.
  • Check whether a meta-framework such as Next.js or Remix is also present.
  • Review JavaScript payload and hydration cost in the performance findings.
