Question

What is the difference between react-hot-loader and webpack-hot-client (webpack-hot-middleware)?

I'm developing React+Express application. I use Webpack to build assets and compile React. I use webpack-serve as a dev server. This dev server features HMR out-of-the-box (it uses both, webpack-hot-client and webpack-hot-middleware).

Do I need to use react-hot-loader if I use webpack-serve? Why? Could you please explain what exactly react-hot-loader does?
