What is the diffing algorithm?
- A process for comparing two React elements
- A process for reconciling changes in the React component tree
- A process for optimizing React component rendering
- A process for testing React components
The diffing algorithm is the process used by React to reconcile changes in the component tree and update the DOM. The diffing algorithm compares the new tree of React elements with the previous tree and identifies the minimum set of changes needed to update the DOM. This process is also known as reconciliation and is a key part of React's performance optimizations.
