Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Gatsby and React?
Gatsby is a web framework (React-based static site generator), while React is a web framework (JavaScript library for building user interfaces). Both are Framework technologies, so they are often considered alternatives.
Can a website use both Gatsby and React?
Yes. Tech Stack Detector detects each technology independently when you scan a site, so a single page can report both Gatsby and React when both are present.
