A descriptor allows React to create native elements.

What is an element?

An element is an object that is sent to react to be rendered.

For example, for React-DOM, these are all native elements:

<h1/>
<div/>
<span/>

And these are component elements:

<MyClass/>
<SignupForm/>

Where

class MyClass extends React.Component{
  render() {
    return <div>I'm a component!</div>;
  }
}

How do descriptors work?

TODO

Can you name them better?
