JSX — Writing HTML-like Syntax in JavaScript

Every React component you've ever seen uses JSX, but JSX is not HTML — it is JavaScript that Babel compiles into React.createElement calls. After this lesson you can convert createElement calls to JSX, correctly handle every JSX-specific rule (className, self-closing tags, expressions vs. statements), and explain exactly what Babel does to your JSX before the browser ever sees it.
