What do these two files reactjs and reactDOM do?

Today I'm done with my hello world example with ReactJS,

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/0.14.7/react.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/0.14.7/react-dom.js"></script>

Above two CDN's included, Just wants to know, what is the difference between them, why do we need to include them, what is the purpose?

They're meant for detaching the actual logic and processing that React does, from the DOM interaction. react-dom is simply used for rendering react components into the DOM, finding DOM elements so that React can interact with them. ReactDOM actually only serves us three methods:

  • findDOMNode, which finds a DOM node from fx. a React ref
  • render which renders a React component at a specific place in the DOM, and
  • unmountComponentAtNode which does the opposite of render (removes it)
