React is a framework. Just because it’s using JavaScript and Node does not mean it’s a library instantly.

Its not a framework because it doesnt encompass all of the tools in a full development environment such as linting for example. Compared to Angular it is absolutely a library.

There is a big difference, and React is meant to be expanded upon by 3rd party libraries to make up a framework.

A library is a packet of functions and components to do a specific job.

A framework is something that is the “whole” of what your project being handled by.
