React Native
React Native is an open-source framework created by Facebook for building mobile applications using JavaScript and React.
It enables developers to create natively rendered mobile apps for iOS and Android with a single codebase, leveraging React's component-based architecture and state management.
When to use React Native?
Cross-Platform Mobile Development
React Native allows developers to build mobile applications for both iOS and Android from a single JavaScript codebase, reducing development time and costs while maintaining performance and native look and feel.
Live and Hot Reloading
With live and hot reloading features, React Native enables developers to see changes instantly without recompiling the entire app, streamlining the development process and speeding up iteration cycles.
Performance Optimization
React Native's architecture allows developers to write some components in native code (Objective-C, Swift, or Java), optimizing performance for critical parts of the application where native code is necessary.
Third-Party Plugin Integration
The extensive library of third-party plugins and modules available for React Native simplifies the integration of various functionalities, such as maps, payment systems, and analytics, enhancing the app’s capabilities.
UI Focus Development
React Native’s component-based structure and pre-built components make it easy to design and implement rich, interactive user interfaces, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience across platforms.
