How do Self-Closing JSX Tags Work?

So in JSX all the tags must be closed, other wise it can break the element.

for example: <div> must have a closing </div> and also for elements like <br> and <hr> must include the /.

So make sure you do your single elements with a / at the end, like <br /> and <hr /> rather than the normal html versions of them. 

HTML

<div id="root"></div>

Scripts

<script type="text/babel">
const JSX = (
  <div>
    <h2>Welcome to React!</h2> <br />
    <p>Be sure to close all tags!</p>
    <hr />
  </div>
);
ReactDOM.render(JSX, document.getElementById('root'))
</script>
