+title: "Use React and JSX in ASP.NET MVC"
+layout: post
+author: Daniel Lo Nigro
+---
+
+Today we're happy to announce the initial release of
+[ReactJS.NET](http://reactjs.net/), which makes it easier to use React and JSX
+in .NET applications, focusing specifically on ASP.NET MVC web applications.
+It has several purposes:
+
+ - On-the-fly JSX to JavaScript compilation. Simply reference JSX files and they
+   will be compiled and cached server-side.
+
+   ```html
+   <script src="@Url.Content("/Scripts/HelloWorld.jsx")"></script>
+   ```
+ - JSX to JavaScript compilation via popular minification/combination libraries
+   (Cassette and ASP.NET Bundling and Minification). This is suggested for
+   production websites.
+ - Server-side component rendering to make your initial render super fast.
+
+Even though we are focusing on ASP.NET MVC, ReactJS.NET can also be used in
+Web Forms applications as well as non-web applications (for example, in build
+scripts). ReactJS.NET currently only works on Microsoft .NET but we are working
+on support for Linux and Mac OS X via Mono as well.
+
+Installation
+------------
+ReactJS.NET is packaged in NuGet. Simply run `Install-Package React.Mvc4` in the
+package manager console or search NuGet for "React" to install it.
+[See the documentation](http://reactjs.net/docs) for more information. The
+GitHub project contains
+[a sample website](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/tree/master/src/React.Sample.Mvc4)
+demonstrating all of the features.
+
+Let us know what you think, and feel free to send through any feedback and
+report bugs [on GitHub](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET).
