What exactly is web scrapping? And someone once told me you can use React for web scrapping but I'm yet to fully understand what it does mean

Web scraping is the process of using bots to extract content and data from a website like getting posts from dev.to, questions from stackoverflow, google places from google maps. Also the person who told you to use react is incorrect. We use python's selenium, bose framework, puppetter.js, scrapy etc. to scrape data.
