Suspense is meant to be composable but there has been a lonstanding
limitation with using Suspense above the `<body>` tag of an HTML
document due to peculiarities of how HTML is parsed. For instance if you
used Suspense to render an entire HTML document and had a fallback that
might flush an alternate Document the comment nodes which describe this
boundary scope won't be where they need to be in the DOM for client
React to properly hydrate them. This is somewhat a problem of our own
making in that we have a concept of a Preamble and we leave the closing
body and html tags behind until streaming has completed which produces a
valid HTML document that also matches the DOM structure that would be
parsed from it. However Preambles as a concept are too important to
features like Float to imagine moving away from this model and so we can
either choose to just accept that you cannot use Suspense anywhere
except inside the `<body>` or we can build special support for Suspense
into react-dom that has a coherent semantic with how HTML documents are
written and parsed.
This change implements Suspense support for react-dom/server by
correctly serializing boundaries during rendering, prerendering, and
resumgin on the server. It does not yet support Suspense everywhere on
the client but this will arrive in a subsequent change. In practice
Suspense cannot be used above the `<body>` tag today so this is not a
breaking change since no programs in the wild could be using this
feature anyway.
React's streaming rendering of HTML doesn't lend itself to replacing the
contents of the documentElement, head, or body of a Document. These are
already special cased in fiber as HostSingletons and similarly for Fizz
the values we render for these tags must never be updated by the Fizz
runtime once written. To accomplish these we redefine the Preamble as
the tags that represent these three singletons plus the contents of the
document.head. If you use Suspense above any part of the Preamble then
nothing will be written to the destination until the boundary is no
longer pending. If the boundary completes then the preamble from within
that boudnary will be output. If the boundary postpones or errors then
the preamble from the fallback will be used instead.
Additionally, by default anything that is not part of the preamble is
implicitly in body scope. This leads to the somewhat counterintuitive
consequence that the comment nodes we use to mark the borders of a
Suspense boundary in Fizz can appear INSIDE the preamble that was
rendered within it.
```typescript
render((
<Suspense>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<div>hello world</div>
</body>
</html>
</Suspense>
))
```
will produce an HTML document like this
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<!--$--> <-- this is the comment Node representing the outermost Suspense
<div>hello world</div>
<$--/$-->
</body>
</html>
```
Later when I update Fiber to support Suspense anywhere hydration will
similarly start implicitly in the document body when the root is part of
the preamble (the document or one of it's singletons).
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.
