# Release Notes

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** We are reducing our investment in CARTO for React and currently we discourage users from starting new projects with it.

CARTO for React is an opinionated framework with pre-built components and templates. This greatly speeds up the process to create React-based applications, but customization options are limited.

If you need further customization in React, or you want to build geospatial applications using **Vue, Angular, or any other Javascript-based framework**, we recommend going directly to the main CARTO for Developers documentation, including [CARTO + deck.gl](https://github.com/CartoDB/gitbook-documentation/blob/master/carto-for-developers/key-concepts/carto-for-deck.gl), which allows for maximum flexibility and scalability.
