I don't understand, you want to use React components as "partials" in a template? Or instead of HTML responses? Or instead of an encoding format like json/xml?
React doesn't need a server, you can make static websites with it (as in no server/ajax involved), you can import react from a CDN and generate the content "dynamically".
Consider that I want to extract information from a table that is present on a site somewhere else, and render the info as cards or something. In a way, the express app for the same would send requests and fetch html responses, which are translated into JSON responses and sent. I was just asking how feasible it is to parse the html grammar inside of the react app itself, after receiving a response from the website.
About the server, I was thinking of compiling into react native and ship it as a standalone app that simply does the job of rendering multiple website content fetched from other links based on my frontend, which I also write in react. Does it make sense now?
Yeah this was what I was planning to do, cause we maintain a server that does the Parsing and aggregation that uses Express, and now we don't really want to lol.
React does happen to use NPM right? All the libraries we use for parsing and stuff are npm packages, so that's why this came to my head.

Can you give an example?

If the source is public you can just write the scrapper in JavaScript and run it on the client side.
React has nothing to do with your problem. It will just output your data, its only job is to render the HTML, not deal with your business logic.

Thanks!
you can avoid npm by just adding the react as an external dependency, like we did in the old days :))
