One of the great things about React is that it doesn't require the DOM as a dependency, which means it is possible to render a React application on the server and send the HTML markup down to the client. There are a few things that React expects, so this guide will help you get started in your preferred environment.


## Node.js

[Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) is a popular JavaScript runtime that comes with an extensive core library and support for installing packages from npm to expand on the basic functionality. As we've described elsewhere in the documentation, you can install `react` and `react-dom` from npm.

Example:

```js
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');

var element = React.createElement('div', null, 'Hello World!');
console.log(ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element));
```

If you use JSX, you may want to pre-compile your components. Alternatively you may want to consider using [Babel's require hook](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/require/) or [`babel-node`](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/cli/#babel-node).

> Note:
>
> Some versions of Node.js have an `Object.assign` implementation that does not preserve key order. This can cause errors when validating the markup, creating a warning that says "React attempted to reuse markup in a container but the checksum was invalid". If you run into this issue, you can override `Object.assign` to use a polyfill that preserves key order. For more details, see [Issue #6451](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/6451).

## Nashorn

Nashorn is a lightweight high-performance JavaScript runtime that runs within the JVM. React should run out of the box in Java 8+.

If your application uses node modules, or you want to transform JSX in Nashorn, you will need to do some additional environment setup. The following resources may be helpful in getting you started:

## Node

You can also use React within a node server-side environment.

Example:

```js
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');

var element = React.createElement('div', {}, 'Hello World!');
console.log(ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element));
```
