React Native is an open-source JavaScript framework developed by Facebook that allows developers to build mobile applications for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the Web, using a single codebase. It leverages the React library, which is widely used for building user interfaces on the web, to create natively-rendered mobile apps. This means that instead of using web technologies like HTML and CSS, React Native uses native components that are compiled into native code, providing a performance and user experience similar to that of apps built with native development languages like Objective-C, Swift, or Java.
Key features of React Native include:
Cross-Platform Development: Developers can write code once and deploy it across multiple platforms, significantly reducing development time and costs[1][2][3][4][9].
Native Performance: React Native compiles to native components, ensuring smooth animations, fast load times, and a responsive user interface[1][2][9].
Reusable Components: The framework promotes modularity by allowing developers to create reusable components, which can be used across different parts of the application[9].
Hot Reloading: This feature allows developers to see changes in real-time without needing to rebuild the entire application, speeding up the development process[1][9].
Strong Community and Ecosystem: React Native has a large ...
