If false, this ignores text comparison checks during hydration at the risk of privacy safety. Since React 18 we recreate the DOM starting from the nearest Suspense boundary if any of the text content mismatches. This ensures that if we have nodes that otherwise line up correctly such as if they're the same type of Component but in a different order, then we don't accidentally transfer state or attributes to the wrong one. If we didn't do this e.g. attributes like image src might not line up with the text. E.g. you might show the wrong profile picture with the wrong name. However, the main reason we do this is because it's a security/privacy concern if state from the original node can transfer to the other one. For example if you start typing into a text field to reply to a story but then it turns out that the hydration was in a different order, you might submit that text into a different story than you intended. Similarly, if you've already clicked an item and that gets replayed using Action replaying or is synchronously force hydrated - that click might end up applying to a different item in the list than you intended. E.g. liking the wrong photo. Unfortunately a common case where this happens is when Google Translate is applied to a page. It'll always cause mismatches and recreate the tree. Most of the time this wouldn't be visible to users because it'd just recreate to the same thing and then translate again. It can affect metrics that trace when this hydration happened though. Meta can use this flag to decide if they favor this perf metric over the risk to user privacy. This is similar to the old enableClientRenderFallbackOnTextMismatch flag except this flag doesn't patch up the text when there's a mismatch. Because we don't have the patching anymore. The assumption is that it is safe to ignore the safety concern because we assume it's a match and therefore favoring not patching it will lead to better perf.
React ·

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support
- Contributing Guide

Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML.
