What’s New
At TDX 2026, Salesforce announced Multi-framework support — developers can build native Salesforce apps starting in React. Platform-grade authentication, security, and governance apply without bolt-on work.
Why React
Most web developers know React. LWC is Salesforce-native but a skills silo. Multi-framework drops the ‘learn LWC first’ barrier. Salesforce gets a larger developer pool; developers get their preferred framework.
What’s Preserved
Security model, auth flows, governor limits, Trust Layer — all apply to React apps just as they do to LWC. The React you write is sandboxed and governed like any first-class Salesforce code.
When to Use
Greenfield apps where team React fluency is strong. Porting external React apps into Salesforce contexts. Continue using LWC for deep platform integration (record pages, utility bar, AppExchange components).
