      {
        "question": "Can you explain the virtual DOM in React and how it improves performance?",
        "intention": "To assess understanding of React's core concepts and performance optimization strategies",
        "answer": "The virtual DOM is a lightweight JavaScript representation of the actual DOM. React uses it to minimize expensive DOM operations by: 1) Creating a virtual representation of the UI, 2) Computing differences (diffing) when state changes, 3) Batch updating only the changed elements. This approach significantly improves performance by reducing direct DOM manipulations."

        "question": "How would you handle authentication in a Node.js application?",
        "intention": "To evaluate knowledge of security best practices and backend architecture",
        "answer": "I would implement JWT-based authentication with the following approach: 1) Use bcrypt for password hashing, 2) Generate JWT tokens on successful login, 3) Implement middleware to verify tokens on protected routes, 4) Store tokens securely on the client (httpOnly cookies or secure storage), 5) Implement refresh token mechanism for long-lived sessions, 6) Add rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks."
