  # React Reference Overview[Link for this heading]()
  
  This section provides detailed reference documentation for working with React. For an introduction to React, please visit the [Learn](https://react.dev/learn) section.
  
  The React reference documentation is broken down into functional subsections:
  
  ## React[Link for React]()
  
  Programmatic React features:
  
  - [Hooks](https://react.dev/reference/react/hooks) - Use different React features from your components.
  - [Components](https://react.dev/reference/react/components) - Built-in components that you can use in your JSX.
  - [APIs](https://react.dev/reference/react/apis) - APIs that are useful for defining components.
  - [Directives](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/directives) - Provide instructions to bundlers compatible with React Server Components.
  
  ## React DOM[Link for React DOM]()
  
  React-dom contains features that are only supported for web applications (which run in the browser DOM environment). This section is broken into the following:
  
  - [Hooks](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hooks) - Hooks for web applications which run in the browser DOM environment.
  - [Components](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components) - React supports all of the browser built-in HTML and SVG components.
  - [APIs](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom) - The `react-dom` package contains methods supported only in web applications.
  - [Client APIs](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/client) - The `react-dom/client` APIs let you render React components on the client (in the browser).
  - [Server APIs](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/server) - The `react-dom/server` APIs let you render React components to HTML on the server.
  
  ## Rules of React[Link for Rules of React]()
  
  React has idioms — or rules — for how to express patterns in a way that is easy to understand and yields high-quality applications:
  
  - [Components and Hooks must be pure](https://react.dev/reference/rules/components-and-hooks-must-be-pure) – Purity makes your code easier to understand, debug, and allows React to automatically optimize your components and hooks correctly.
  - [React calls Components and Hooks](https://react.dev/reference/rules/react-calls-components-and-hooks) – React is responsible for rendering components and hooks when necessary to optimize the user experience.
  - [Rules of Hooks](https://react.dev/reference/rules/rules-of-hooks) – Hooks are defined using JavaScript functions, but they represent a special type of reusable UI logic with restrictions on where they can be called.
  
  ## Legacy APIs[Link for Legacy APIs]()
  
  - [Legacy APIs](https://react.dev/reference/react/legacy) - Exported from the `react` package, but not recommended for use in newly written code.
