JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript and it is commonly used with React to define the structure and layout of components. However, JSX itself is not tied to React and can be used in non-react applications as well.

  JSX is essentially a shorthand for writing JavaScript code that creates and manipulates HTML elements. It allows developers to write HTML-like syntax directly in their JavaScript code, which can make it easier to work with and understand the structure of the UI.

  To use JSX in a non-react application, you would need to transpile the JSX code into regular JavaScript using a build tool like Babel or a bundler like webpack. This process converts the JSX syntax into plain JavaScript function calls that create and manipulate DOM elements. Once the JSX code is transpiled, it can be used in any JavaScript project.

  However, it's worth noting that without a framework like React, the rendered JSX components won't have the same functionality and reactivity that React provides. JSX in non-react applications is typically used for generating static HTML or as a templating language to generate dynamic HTML content on the server-side.
