"Meta will contribute React, React Native, and JSX (JavaScript XML) to a new React Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, and said that "it is important that no single company or organization is overrepresented." The React Foundation will start with seven corporate members - Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel - and its responsibilities will include maintaining React's infrastructure and trademarks, organizing React Conf, and sponsoring the React ecosystem. The first executive director will be Seth Webster, Meta's head of React."
"React, created by Facebook in 2013, is the most popular JavaScript framework. (Facebook changed its name to Meta in 2021.) The most recent State of JavaScript survey reported usage by over 80 percent of respondents. React Native is a cross-platform UI framework based on React, and while it's not as dominant as web React, Microsoft is a particularly big user."
"If React gets true independent governance, it will be timely, since there is some unhappiness in the ecosystem regarding vendor involvement, particularly focused on Vercel, sponsor of the React-based Next.js framework. The 21-member React Core team includes five Vercel employees, 14 Meta employees, and two independent members. Next.js is recommended in the React documentation as a framework that "takes full advantage of React's architecture to create full-stack React apps." No other framework is described in the same way."
Meta contributed React, React Native, and JSX to a new React Foundation hosted by the Linux Foundation, emphasizing that no single company should be overrepresented. The foundation will begin with seven corporate members—Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel—and will maintain React's infrastructure and trademarks, organize React Conf, and sponsor the ecosystem. Seth Webster, Meta's head of React, will serve as the first executive director. The plan includes creating a separate technical governance structure to ensure independent control. React remains the most popular JavaScript framework, and vendor influence concerns, especially around Vercel and Next.js, persist.
