"React has become critical digital infrastructure for the modern web and beyond. By establishing the React Foundation under the Linux Foundation, we are ensuring a strong, vibrant React for decades to come - guided by open governance and shared stewardship from the global community that builds with it every day."
"React is presently the most popular front-end JavaScript framework. It was used by 85 percent of developers surveyed in the 2025 State of JavaScript report. It also has its share of detractors, who object to its complexity and performance, among other things."
"Meta's stewardship of open source software projects has tended to be fraught, as the social ad company isn't well-loved in the open source community. In 2022, Meta undertook a similar corporate distancing exercise by moving PyTorch, a deep learning framework developed at Facebook, over to the Linux Foundation."
Meta has completed its transfer of React, React Native, and JSX to the newly established React Foundation, an independent organization hosted by the Linux Foundation. The foundation's founding members include Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Huawei, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel. React remains the most popular front-end JavaScript framework, used by 85 percent of developers surveyed in the 2025 State of JavaScript report. The move ensures open governance and shared stewardship of React's development. This transfer follows Meta's similar 2022 decision to move PyTorch to the Linux Foundation, reflecting the company's strategy of distancing itself from direct control of major open source projects.
