React Native is a framework developed by Meta for building native mobile applications using JavaScript and React. It allows developers to write code once and deploy it on both Android and iOS platforms, significantly reducing development time and resources.
Key features of React Native include:
- Cross-Platform Development: Build apps for both iOS and Android from a single codebase.
- Native UI Rendering: Uses native UI components for a seamless user experience.
- JavaScript-Based: Leverages JavaScript and React, making it accessible to web developers.
- Hot Reloading: Enables instant updates during development without full app rebuilds.
- Large Community: Benefits from a vast and active community, providing extensive support and resources.
React Native is ideal for:
- Developing high-performance mobile apps with native look and feel.
- Rapid prototyping and cross-platform deployment.
- Leveraging existing JavaScript and React skills for mobile development.
- Creating apps with dynamic content and frequent updates.
