React Native vs React

React Native

React Native is the mobile app development framework, which is developed by Facebook. It is an open-source tool which is released in 2015. Using React Native, we can build iOS and Android applications. React Native utilizes the JavaScript and React. React Native is primarily used by Facebook, Airbnb, Instagram, and many more.

React Native and React framework are very similar.

React

React is also refer to the React.js or ReactJS. It is a JavaScript library responsible for building a hierarchy of UI components. React provides support for both front-end and server-side. Now, most of the web development is done using MVC (Model View Control) framework where React is just the V (View) part.

A ReactJS application is build using the multiple components, and each component is responsible for outputting a small, and reusable piece of HTML code.

Setup and running process

React.js is a JavaScript library which is used for web development. While initiating a new project and setting up ReactJS, we need to choose Webpack, which is a bundler. We need to decide which bundling module suits our project.

In React Native, we will found everything that we need to set up and get started. We will need Android Studio (for Android) and Xcode (for iOS) installed in our computer to run the app.

React ensure code reusability

React is special in its ability to offer great performance to manger rendering its component cycle. It improves the developer's efficiency. In React, the creation, distribution, and consumption of isolated reusable parts in a much simpler way. It enables developers to have more time to use and create common abstractions.

React Native is all about the UI

React Native app development is mainly focused on building the mobile user interface. The React Native UI results in highly responsive and feels better. This is due to asynchronous JavaScript interactions with the native environment. It means the app developed using this will have a fast load time than a typical hybrid app.

Business Advantages of using React Native

• React Native comes with the Modules and Native components, which helps to improve the app performance, like Cordova, PhoneGap, and other cross-platform frameworks.
• React Native has all the advantages which are provided by React.js (React). It merely focuses on better UI.
• React Native reuse the common logic layer for both iOS and Android. So, there is no more requirement to build a separate application.
• React Native becomes easier to pick-up if you have a basic understanding of JavaScript. It allows most of the front-end web developer to be a mobile developer.
• Existing app is not required to rebuild. We are required to add the React Native UI component into our existing app's code.

Business Advantage of using React

• React provides a facility to reuse the code component to save valuable time.
• It improves the debugging speed and makes the developer's life much more comfortable.
• It is easily reachable to those who are not familiar with React.js Development.
• We can find the advantage of all the advancements in the Java language and its ecosystem.
