Feature

React Synthetic Events (SyntheticEvent)

Native JavaScript Events (Event)

Definition

React’s wrapper around native events for cross-browser compatibility.

Standard DOM events from the browser.

Source

Comes from React (react-dom).

Comes from the browser (window, document, etc.).

Event Pooling

Uses event pooling (in older React versions) to improve performance.

No event pooling; each event is unique.

Performance

Optimized by React for better efficiency.

Can have higher memory usage.

Cross-browser Handling

Abstracts browser inconsistencies, making handling easier.

May require manual handling for different browsers.

Event Object

SyntheticEvent wraps native events and normalizes properties.

Directly exposes the raw Event object.
