When streaming SSR while hydrating React will wait for Suspense boundaries to be revealed by the SSR stream before attempting to hydrate them. The rationale here is that the Server render is likely further ahead of whatever the client would produce so waiting to let the server stream in the UI is preferable to retrying on the client and possibly delaying how quickly the primary content becomes available. However If the connection closes early (user hits stop for instance) or there is a server error which prevents additional HTML from being delivered to the client this can put React into a broken state where the boundary never resolves nor errors and the hydration never retries that boundary freezing it in it's fallback state. Once the document has fully loaded we know there is not way any additional Suspense boundaries can arrive. This update changes react-dom on the client to schedule client renders for any unfinished Suspense boundaries upon document loading. The technique for client rendering a fallback is pretty straight forward. When hydrating a Suspense boundary if the Document is in 'complete' readyState we interpret pending boundaries as fallback boundaries. If the readyState is not 'complete' we register an event to retry the boundary when the DOMContentLoaded event fires. To test this I needed JSDOM to model readyState. We previously had a temporary implementation of readyState for SSR streaming but I ended up implementing this as a mock of JSDOM that implements a fake readyState that is mutable. It starts off in 'loading' readyState and you can advance it by mutating document.readyState. You can also reset it to 'loading'. It fires events when changing states. This seems like the least invasive way to get closer-to-real-browser behavior in a way that won't require remembering this subtle detail every time you create a test that asserts Suspense resolution order.
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.
