JSX (JavaScript XML) is a syntax extension for JavaScript, popularized by Facebook's React library, that lets developers write HTML-like markup directly within JavaScript code to describe UI structure. It is compiled (typically via Babel) into regular JavaScript function calls that create React elements. Front-end developers use JSX because it makes component code easier to read and write compared to manually nested function calls.
