+## Usage {/*usage*/}
+
+### Checking if something is a React element {/*checking-if-something-is-a-react-element*/}
+
+Call `isValidElement` to check if some value is a *React element.*
+
+React elements are:
+
+- Values produced by writing a [JSX tag](/learn/writing-markup-with-jsx)
+- Values produced by calling [`createElement`](/api/react/createElement)
+
+For React elements, `isValidElement` returns `true`:
+
+```js
+import { isValidElement, createElement } from 'react';
+
+// ✅ JSX tags are React elements
+console.log(isValidElement(<p />)); // true
+console.log(isValidElement(<MyComponent />)); // true
+
+// ✅ Values returned by createElement are React elements
+console.log(isValidElement(createElement('p'))); // true
+console.log(isValidElement(createElement(MyComponent))); // true
+```
+
+Any other values, such as strings, numbers, or arbitrary objects and arrays, are not React elements.
+
+For them, `isValidElement` returns `false`:
+
+```js
+// ❌ These are *not* React elements
+console.log(isValidElement(null)); // false
+console.log(isValidElement(25)); // false
+console.log(isValidElement('Hello')); // false
+console.log(isValidElement({ age: 42 })); // false
+console.log(isValidElement([<div />, <div />])); // false
+console.log(isValidElement(MyComponent)); // false
+```
+
+It is very uncommon to need `isValidElement`. It's mostly useful if you're calling another API that *only* accepts elements (like [`cloneElement`](/api/react/cloneElement) does) and you want to avoid an error when your argument is not a React element.
+
+Unless you have some very specific reason to add an `isValidElement` check, you probably don't need it.
+
+<DeepDive title="React elements vs React nodes">
+
+When you write a component, you can return any kind of *React node* from it:
+
+```js
+function MyComponent() {
+  // ... you can return any React node ...
+}
+```
+
+A React node can be:
+
+- A React element created like `<div />` or `createElement('div')`
+- A portal created with [`createPortal`](/apis/react-dom/createPortal)
+- A string
+- A number
+- `true`, `false`, `null`, or `undefined` (which are not displayed)
+- An array of other React nodes
+
+**Note `isValidElement` checks whether the argument is a *React element,* not whether it's a React node.** For example, `42` is not a valid React element. However, it is a perfectly valid React node:
+
+```js
+function MyComponent() {
+  return 42; // It's ok to return a number from component
+}
+```
+
+This is why you shouldn't use `isValidElement` as a way to check whether something can be rendered.

+
+## Reference {/*reference*/}
+
+### `isValidElement(value)` {/*isvalidelement*/}
+
+Call `isValidElement(value)` to check whether `value` is a React element.
+
+```js
+import { isValidElement } from 'react';
+
+// ✅ React elements
+console.log(isValidElement(<p />)); // true
+console.log(isValidElement(createElement('p'))); // true
+
+// ❌ Not React elements
+console.log(isValidElement(25)); // false
+console.log(isValidElement('Hello')); // false
+console.log(isValidElement({ age: 42 })); // false
+```
+
+[See more examples above.](#usage)
+
+#### Parameters {/*parameters*/}
+
+* `value`: The `value` you want to check. It can be any a value of any type.
+
+#### Returns {/*returns*/}
+
+`isValidElement` returns `true` if the `value` is a React element. Otherwise, it returns `false`.
+
+#### Caveats {/*caveats*/}
+
+* **Only [JSX tags](/learn/writing-markup-with-jsx) and objects returned by [`createElement`](/api/react/createElement) are considered to be React elements.** For example, even though a number like `42` is a valid React *node* (and can be returned from a component), it is not a valid React element. Arrays and portals created with [`createPortal`](/apis/react-dom/createPortal) are also *not* considered to be React elements.
