React Native is a JavaScript framework for building native mobile apps. It’s based on React, Facebook’s JavaScript library for building user interfaces, but instead of targeting the browser, it targets mobile platforms. In other words: web developers can now write mobile apps that look and feel native without having to learn a new language or framework.
React Native is currently available on iOS and Android, and React Native apps are also supported on the popular web platform Electron. There’s even a community-supported version of React Native for Windows.
There are many reasons to choose React Native for your next mobile project. Here are just a few:
- You can use React and JavaScript to build native mobile apps.
- React Native uses the same UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps so your app will look and feel like a native app.
- You can use React Native to build cross-platform apps that run on both iOS and Android with a single codebase.
- React Native is a fast and efficient way to develop mobile apps.
- React Native is open source, so you can use it for free.
If you’re a web developer who’s looking to get into mobile app development, React Native is a great option. And if you’re already familiar with React, you’ll find it very easy to get started with React Native.
