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 don’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 Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. React 18 dropped support for Internet Explorer, which doesn’t support the modern browser features that React relies on.
