Well, technically you don&#x27;t need to know JSX, but it pays off to know it IMHO. Moreover, the DOM API is much more complicated than React API and the latest doesn&#x27;t depend on the particular browser you are using.<p>But yes, to use a technology, you need to understand it.<p>Regarding the size, you are right, I wouldn&#x27;t recommend to use React for such a tiny task.
