Description

In React's legacy docs, I see information on reconciliation and React's use of the Virtual DOM.

However, when I look up the above concepts at https://react.dev/, I need help finding the above documentation. Where are the above ideas documented in react.dev? Has the React library changed so much that it does not use reconciliation or the Virtual DOM?
