Difference between HTML and React Event Handling

In HTML In ReactJS
we specify event using “onclick”,”onsubmit”which is the normal convention.  We specify the event using  “onClick”,”onSubmit” likewise which is camel case convention.
We bind or provide the listener in form of the string. We bind or provide the listener in form of function name or method name as a variable. 
The string we pass to the listener should have “( )” at the end in order to work. We are only suppose to pass the method  name and nothing else. React can determine that it has to run this method.
We can add event listener any time using external javascript. We have to specify all the Events at the time of creating the component.
