You too, embrace cross-platform development with React Native

What is React Native?

React Native is a royalty-free mobile application framework (set of tools and software components) created by Facebook in 2015. It accelerates the development and maintenance of iOS and Android mobile applications using a single code base for both platforms.

The framework uses the JavaScript programming language and the ReactJS library, also designed by Facebook.

This technology, with its many advantages, has continued to grow in popularity since its launch and is one of GitHub's most popular projects (hosting and managing software development) with more than 2,000 contributors.

Why do we recommend mobile development in React Native?

We worked for several years on Cordova during the creation of our first applications but since 2007 we switched to React Native. The advantage of React Native is that it allows us to develop a one-time JavaScript application that can then be used on Android and iPhone.

Unlike Cordova, which already allowed us to make an application for several platforms, the capacity of this language is to be compiled directly into the native internal language of the system (Swift and ObjectiveC for iOS and Java for Android). Unlike Cordova the application is therefore in direct communication with the system and does not use a WebView. So we have a language that enables us to obtain applications whose performance is similar to an application developed natively.

How does it work?

A framework optimized for maintenance and innovation

React Native creates the application structure in components and uses a one-way data flow. In other words, it allows you to create predictable, modular and testable graphics components very quickly. These elements are easily replaceable and reusable, making it easy to add or change functionality.

If you had to remember only this

THE FRAMEWORK ADAPTS TO MOBILE TO DEVELOP APPLICATIONS WITH THE SAME PERFORMANCE AS NATIVE APPLICATIONS ON DIFFERENT IOS AND ANDROID SYSTEMS.
