## AI overview

React is deprecating Create React App for new applications and recommends migrating existing applications to a framework or build tool such as Vite. The article explains the historical role of Create React App, its production limitations, lack of active maintainers, continued maintenance-mode support, and migration options for client-only single-page applications.

## Source excerpt

Today, we're deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework, or to migrate to a build tool like Vite, Parcel, or RSBuild. We're also providing docs for when a framework isn't a good fit for your project, you want to build your own framework, or you just want to learn how React works by building a React app from scratch.
