*This API is experimental and subject to change or removal.* This PR is an alternative to https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/32421 based on feedback: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/32421#pullrequestreview-2625382015 . The difference here is that we traverse from the Fragment's fiber at operation time instead of keeping a set of children on the `FragmentInstance`. We still need to handle newly added or removed child nodes to apply event listeners and observers, so we treat those updates as effects. **Fragment Refs** This PR extends React's Fragment component to accept a `ref` prop. The Fragment's ref will attach to a custom host instance, which will provide an Element-like API for working with the Fragment's host parent and host children. Here I've implemented `addEventListener`, `removeEventListener`, and `focus` to get started but we'll be iterating on this by adding additional APIs in future PRs. This sets up the mechanism to attach refs and perform operations on children. The FragmentInstance is implemented in `react-dom` here but is planned for Fabric as well. The API works by targeting the first level of host children and proxying Element-like APIs to allow developers to manage groups of elements or elements that cannot be easily accessed such as from a third-party library or deep in a tree of Functional Component wrappers. ```javascript import {Fragment, useRef} from 'react'; const fragmentRef = useRef(null); <Fragment ref={fragmentRef}> <div id="A" /> <Wrapper> <div id="B"> <div id="C" /> </div> </Wrapper> <div id="D" /> </Fragment> ``` In this case, calling `fragmentRef.current.addEventListener()` would apply an event listener to `A`, `B`, and `D`. `C` is skipped because it is nested under the first level of Host Component. If another Host Component was appended as a sibling to `A`, `B`, or `D`, the event listener would be applied to that element as well and any other APIs would also affect the newly added child. This is an implementation of the basic feature as a starting point for feedback and further iteration.
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.
