In React , The state object is where you store property values that belongs to the component. React is a javascript library so it uses javascript object as its state. In short React state is a javascript object .

When there is any change in the state via the setState func , then the DOM re-renders only to the specific part that has changed. Beauty of react , the virtual Dom.

React State IS a JavaScript object. The purpose is to keep track of changing information between renders.

The best part is that if you change the state inside a component, the virtual DOM will know which parts of the DOM need to be modified (instead of modify the whole DOM).
