Structural Architecture

React's repository is structured as a complex monorepo heavily utilizing Yarn workspaces. It encapsulates both the core reconciler and various platform renderers (DOM, Native, Test, etc.) side-by-side, sharing massive amounts of internal compiler and shared abstractions.

Monorepo encapsulation via tightly coupled 'packages' directory.
Clear separation of the abstract reconciler from the specific platform renderers engine.
Heavy reliance on internal build scripts and custom fixture testing setups.

Notable Directories

/packages/react

The core React isomorphic library API.

/packages/react-dom

The DOM rendering implementation and browser-specific logic.

/packages/react-reconciler

The core Fiber tree implementation and scheduling engine.

/compiler

Contains the experimental React compiler (Forget).
