<> vs React.Fragment

`<>` is the shorthand tag for `React.Fragment` which allows us to group a list of elements without wrapping them in a new node.So we can do something like
js
render() {
return (
<>
<Header />
<Navigation />
<Main />
<Footer />
</>
);
}The only difference between them is that the shorthand version does not support the
`key` attribute.Here is a common example that inserts new line (
`br`) tags in a multiple lines string:js
{
str.split('\\n').map((item, index) => {
return (
<Fragment key={index}>
{item}
<br />
</Fragment>
);
});
}
