What is React Native?

A revolutionary framework that bridges the gap between web and mobile development

The Future of Mobile Development

React Native is Facebook's open-source framework that enables developers to build truly native mobile applications using React and JavaScript. Unlike hybrid solutions that render web views, React Native translates your markup to real, native UI elements.

Created by Facebook in 2015, React Native has revolutionized mobile app development by allowing developers to use their existing React skills to build mobile applications. The framework uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps, assembled using JavaScript and React.

Key Innovation

React Native doesn't compile to web views - it compiles to actual native components, delivering genuine native performance while maintaining the developer experience of React.

Why Choose React Native?

React Native offers the perfect balance between development speed and app performance. Write your business logic once and deploy it across multiple platforms without sacrificing user experience.

Code Reusability

Share up to 95% of code between iOS and Android

Faster Development

Hot reload and familiar React patterns

Native Performance

Direct compilation to native components

Strong Community

Backed by Facebook and active community

Core Features

Powerful capabilities that make React Native the preferred choice for mobile development

JavaScript & React

Use familiar JavaScript and React concepts to build mobile applications. No need to learn Swift or Kotlin - leverage your existing web development skills.

Native Components

Renders real native UI components, not web views. Your app will feel genuinely native with platform-specific design patterns and performance.

Hot Reload

See changes instantly without recompiling. Hot reload preserves app state while updating the code, dramatically speeding up development.

Native Bridge

Seamless communication between JavaScript and native modules. Access platform-specific APIs and write custom native modules when needed.

Modular Architecture

Component-based architecture promotes code reusability and maintainability. Build complex UIs from simple, reusable components.

Rich Ecosystem

Access thousands of third-party libraries and native modules. Extensive tooling support with Metro bundler, Flipper debugger, and more.
