This pains me because `React.Children` is really already pseudo-deprecated. `React.Children` takes any children that `React.Node` takes. We now support Lazy and Thenable in this position elsewhere, but it errors in `React.Children`. This becomes an issue with async Server Components which can resolve into a Lazy and in the future Lazy will just become Thenables. Which causes this to error. There are a few different semantics we could have: 1) Error like we already do (#28280). `React.Children` is about introspecting children. It was always sketchy because you can't introspect inside an abstraction anyway. With Server Components we fold away the components so you can actually introspect inside of them kind of but what they do is an implementation detail and you should be able to turn it into a Client Component at any point. The type of an Element passing the boundary actually reduces to `React.Node`. 2) Suspend and unwrap the Node (this PR). If we assume that Children is called inside of render, then throwing a Promise if it's not already loaded or unwrapping would treat it as if it wasn't there. Just like if you rendered it in React. This lets you introspect what's inside which isn't really something you should be able to do. This isn't compatible with deprecating throwing-a-Promise and enable static compilation like `use()` does. We'd have to deprecate `React.Children` before doing that which we might anyway. 3) Wrap in a Fragment. If a Server Component was instead a Client Component, you couldn't introspect through it anyway. Another alternative might be to let it pass through but then it wouldn't be given a flat key. We could also wrap it in a Fragment that is keyed. That way you're always seeing an element. The issue with this solution is that it wouldn't see the key of the Server Component since that gets forwarded to the child that is yet to resolve. The nice thing about that strategy is it doesn't depend on throw-a-Promise but it might not be keyed correctly when things move.
React · 
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support
- Contributing Guide

Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML.
