Best cross platform framework for Mobile App Development
React Native is an open-source cross platform for mobile application development, developed by Facebook. It uses same syntax as ReactJS. The main motive of react is “Learn once, write anywhere”.
With React Native, we can build cross platform mobile apps by coding in Javascript. There is no need to know about Android’s Java and iOS’s swift/objective-c to use. It uses same UI blocks as regular android and iOS apps. So we can feel the native application using JavaScript and React.
Important things to consider React Native for mobile apps:
High Development speed and Low cost:
You have to build app once using JavaScript, and It works on both Android and iOS which saves a lot of money rather developing separate apps for iOS(swift) and Android(Java).
High Performance:
React Native is easy to learn and efficient. App is compiled into native code, which enabled to work on both the operating systems and functions the same as both platforms with no issues. Other advantages of using React Native is faster development, reusability of components.
Great UI(User Interface):
We can split the UI into independent, reusable pieces called components. Great User Interface is possible because of components of React. As we can reuse components, there is no code duplication.
Easy to maintain code base:
As we write code in JavaScript only, we can have same code base for both android and iOS, 75–90% of the code is same for both android and iOS.
If we want to implement any functionality, which is not there in React Native, we can write our own bridges using java for android and Objective-c/Swift for iOS. We can easily integrate native code to React Native.
Large community:
React Native has large community to help. There are a lot of free and open source projects, which help to development. Own StyleSheets:
React Native has it’s own StyleSheets to create a better UI(User Interface). It is similar to CSS StyleSheet. It is very easy to learn and implement.
Big Companies using React Native:
Below Apps are developed using React Native.
Instagram(Android /iOS), Facebook(Android /iOS), Skype(Android /iOS), Pinterest, Tesla, etc.. Check full list here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/showcase.html
