Abstract : A React Chat Application is a modern real-time communication tool that leverages React.js for frontend development, often in conjunction with Socket.io and Node.js for backend functionalities. This literature review explores existing research on React-based chat applications, focusing on their architecture, performance, scalability, and security. By examining different approaches to real-time data handling, state management, security protocols, and backend integrations, this study provides insights into the strengths and challenges associated with developing chat applications using React. The review discusses emerging trends and best practices to enhance user experience and application efficiency.

Keywords : React Chat Applications, Real-time Communication, Socket.io, Node.js, State Management, Scalability, Security, Frontend Development.
