Solid separates the application from the storage, allowing users to put their data wherever they choose. Core to achieving this is application interoparability, the ability to use multiple apps on the same dataset. In order to make applications interoperable, Solid is standardized around RDF (Resource Description Framework), a standard for representing data. While RDF is extremely flexible, it is sometimes cumbersome to work with, that's where LDO (Linked Data Objects) comes in.
In this tutorial, we'll build a web application for Solid using React and LDO. LDO's react library, "@ldobjects/solid-react" is designed to make it easy to manipulate data on a Solid Pod.

This library will give us many useful hooks and components for building a Solid application, but it can't be used unless we wrap the application in a provider. Because we're building a React application in the web browser, we'll wrap the application using the `BrowserSolidLdoProvider`.
