What is difference between React vs React Fiber?
I just heard that react-fiber is ready. What is the big differences between react and react-fiber? Is it worth it to learn the whole new concept for that differences ?
Answer
React Fiber is an ongoing reimplementation of React's core algorithm, it’s just a complete internal re-write of React.
React Fiber is a complete, backwards compatible rewrite of the React core.
The goal of React Fiber is to increase its suitability for areas like animation, layout, and gestures. Its headline feature is incremental rendering: the ability to split rendering work into chunks and spread it out over multiple frames.
React Fiber is a virtual stack frame, with React Fiber being a reimplementation of a stack frame specialised for React components. Each fiber can be thought of as a virtual stack frame where information from the frame is preserved in memory on the heap, and because info is saved on the heap, you can control and play with the data structures and process the relevant information as needed.
You can find an excellent explanation from Lin Clark in this video.
