Can I use Revolution Slider in React app?

Question

So I can produce in React the same html which is generated here in the Hero: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/zircona-it-solutions-technology-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/26902789

but to get the animation, need to have a javascript, yes?

Where can I get that javascript?

Or is this a css, I think not. What is the way to reproduce this kind of animation?

Or is it any more advanced, free easy solution to do similar animations?

Loking at this jQuery solution:

<li data-transition="zoomout" data-slotamount="7" data-masterspeed="1000" >
                    <!-- MAIN IMAGE -->
                    <img src="images/darkblurbg.jpg"  alt="darkblurbg"  data-bgfit="cover" data-bgposition="left top" data-bgrepeat="no-repeat">
                    <!-- LAYERS -->
                    <!-- LAYER NR. 1 -->
                    <div class="tp-caption lightgrey_divider skewfromrightshort fadeout"
                        data-x="85"
                        data-y="224"
                        data-speed="500"
                        data-start="1200"
                        data-easing="Power4.easeOut">My Caption
                    </div>

The thing I do not get, why here plain divs are used but in the linked template custom html elements are used.
