You can use React using only `ReactElement`s but to really take advantage of React, you'll want to use `ReactComponent`s to create encapsulations with embedded state.

A `ReactComponent` Class is simply just a JavaScript class (or "constructor function").

A `ReactComponent` Class is simply just a JavaScript class:
```javascript
var MyComponent = React.createClass({
render: function() {
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
render() {
...
}
});
}
```

Or you can define it as a function (but it will be a stateless `ReactComponent`):
```javascript
function MyComponent() {
return ...
}
```

When this constructor is invoked it is expected to return an object with at least a `render` method on it. This object is referred to as a `ReactComponent`.
