Client React DOM APIs

The react-dom/client APIs let you render React components on the client (in the browser). These APIs are typically used at the top level of your app to initialize your React tree. A framework may call them for you. Most of your components donโ€™t need to import or use them.


Client APIs

  • createRoot lets you create a root to display React components inside a browser DOM node.
  • hydrateRoot lets you display React components inside a browser DOM node whose HTML content was previously generated by react-dom/server.

Browser support

React supports all popular browsers, including Internet Explorer 9 and above. Some polyfills are required for older browsers such as IE 9 and IE 10.
