Discussion on: Reading Data From A JSON File With Gatsby + GraphQL

Great post, Emma 👌

I have found a mistake with explaining empty brackets in JSX. You are putting:

<>
  <h1>Hello world</h1>
  <p>Another child component</p>
<>

as the same as

<div>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
  <p>Another child component</p>
<div>

which is not true.

The true equivalent is

<React.Fragment>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
  <p>Another child component</p>
</React.Fragment>

I was unsure of this in the regard of whether or not it compiled to a div tag at runtime, in which case I'd say your comment would be a little nitpicky, since she probably knows this and assumes it's easier to say it's a div than having to explain Fragment, but it actually doesn't get compiled to anything. Essentially the same thing, though, sorta. Okay mini rant over.
