Preact is a lightweight JavaScript library that provides a fast, 3KB alternative to React with the same modern API, including components, hooks, and virtual DOM diffing. Front-end developers use it to build web applications when bundle size and performance are a priority, often as a drop-in replacement for React via preact/compat. It is popular in performance-sensitive projects like mobile web apps and progressive web apps.
