What Makes React Native a Great Mobile App Development Framework?

Have you realized that while you are reading this you might be scrolling through an app on your smartphone? Did you actually notice how our lives have transformed with the progressiveness in entertainment and communication due to smartphones? Thanks to the mobile applications which have played a crucial part as a communication channel between us and the world.

Smartphones today are imperative and when it comes to mobile app development ( iOS or Android), delivering a seamless UI, outstanding UX, cross-platform compatibility and many other features become crucial deliverables to the consumer. Comes React Native, an open-source mobile app development platform built by Facebook.

React Native comes as a successor to React JS, whose robust JavaScript framework has been utilized for developing native mobile apps. Several popular apps have used React Native mobile development, some of them are Facebook, UberEats, Bloomberg news, Pinterest, Walmart, Skype, and more. These globally popular mobile applications are either built on React Native or have integrations with.

With so many organizations already utilizing the platform, it has become obvious that it is the best choice for mobile app development for enterprise-level as well as for small-scale applications. It offers a diverse framework and supports a plethora of languages including Objective C, JS version of XML, and more. Let’s take a look at some of the features that make react native mobile development a successful initiative:

Facebook initially launched React Native exclusively for the iOS platform, but with its amazing features, it quickly gained popularity amongst android mobile app developers as well. A majority of the APIs are utilized on both platforms which justifies the fact that why developers are preferring React Native for both platforms. Also, the native code can be easily deployed on any of the platforms without much hassle for time or money.

Do we already know that it offers cross-platform compatibility for mobile app development, but is the case the same with web-based applications too? Yes. Anything that is not directly tied to a platform is already shareable. Thus, an app developed with it can be seamlessly rendered on the server, web browser, iOS platform, or Android, where each one of them is utilizing a shared codebase. For in-depth information keep checking back to the React Native web project.

The primary reason behind using the term ‘React Native’ is that the applications developed on this can actually perform like a native app. Also, the developers’ community really likes the platform due to its usability, keyboard behavior, animations, and scroll accelerations. Also, the UI includes widgets that contribute to delivering a flawless performance. With React Native even the most complex applications work seamlessly.

Fully compatible with 3rd party plugins, the framework provides a smooth operation run-time. The modules can easily be connected to the plugin even without using a web view, it uses a native module to do the same. Without using WebView one can easily connect the module to the plugin via the native module. The native module for these platforms (iOS & Android) consumes less memory as it does not require cross-bridge linking because the codes are utilized in run-time.

This invariably contributes to the popularity of this framework. It is thus free for developers to contribute and acts as an excellent knowledge-sharing database. A huge community of developers is working on an ongoing basis to fix bugs and continuous feature improvements.
