jsx files are JavaScript files that contain JSX syntax. JSX (JavaScript XML) is an extension to JavaScript that allows you to write HTML-like code within JavaScript. JSX is a syntax extension provided by React and is used to define React components.

JS is the scripting language, JSC is the extension to the JavaScript. Both JS and JSX are interchangeable but JSX makes the code easier to understand for users
