Andrew ClarkandRick Hanlon 4ce858d6ee Fast JSX: Don't clone props object (#28768)
(Unless "key" is spread onto the element.)

Historically, the JSX runtime clones the props object that is passed in.
We've done this for two reasons.

One reason is that there are certain prop names that are reserved by
React, like `key` and (before React 19) `ref`. These are not actual
props and are not observable by the target component; React uses them
internally but removes them from the props object before passing them to
userspace.

The second reason is that the classic JSX runtime, `createElement`, is
both a compiler target _and_ a public API that can be called manually.
Therefore, we can't assume that the props object that is passed into
`createElement` won't be mutated by userspace code after it is passed
in.

However, the new JSX runtime, `jsx`, is not a public API — it's solely a
compiler target, and the compiler _will_ always pass a fresh, inline
object. So the only reason to clone the props is if a reserved prop name
is used.

In React 19, `ref` is no longer a reserved prop name, and `key` will
only appear in the props object if it is spread onto the element.
(Because if `key` is statically defined, the compiler will pass it as a
separate argument to the `jsx` function.) So the only remaining reason
to clone the props object is if `key` is spread onto the element, which
is a rare case, and also triggers a warning in development.

In a future release, we will not remove a spread key from the props
object. (But we'll still warn.) We'll always pass the object straight
through.

The expected impact is much faster JSX element creation, which in many
apps is a significant slice of the overall runtime cost of rendering.

react

React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces.

The react package contains only the functionality necessary to define React components. It is typically used together with a React renderer like react-dom for the web, or react-native for the native environments.

Note: by default, React will be in development mode. The development version includes extra warnings about common mistakes, whereas the production version includes extra performance optimizations and strips all error messages. Don't forget to use the production build when deploying your application.

Usage

import { useState } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return (
    <>
      <h1>{count}</h1>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
        Increment
      </button>
    </>
  );
}

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<Counter />);
