Overall Opinion: My first impression of React Native was good and I really enjoyed how well the apps turned out and how fast I was able to create them. I was also extremely impressed at how the layout transferred over from a web application to a mobile app. Being able to build cross-platform apps in one go definitely saves time and energy. There were, however, some bugs that I did not enjoy - more on that later - but on the whole, the software works really well considering the amount of code that can be implemented through the use of this software.
Pros: The React Native software had several benefits that other similar tools did not. When considering the pros of using React Native I chose to compare it with Ionic, a similar Javascript-based software used for creating mobile apps. React Native The custom DOM makes it much faster than HTML Dom. It uses JIT for Android-based apps. Includes a custom-based widget set that translates easily to both iOS and Android widgets. Default stylesheets do not cascade automatically, which makes the app even faster. Includes manual and automatic restarting. Hot reloading for iOS and Android. Live reloading for iOS and Android. Includes updates. Cross-platform capabilities. Background code execution for Android. Ionic The coding uses an interpreter plugin for iOS that makes it work faster than React Native in this area. Uses JIT for Android-based apps. Ionic has a built-in 64-bit support for iOS apps. Manual and automatic restarting. Cold-swapping code for iOS and Android. Native-feel look.
Cons: As promised before, there were a few drawbacks to the React Native software that I found. Again, I compared the cons of both React Native and Ionic to get a better idea of which one was the superior javascript-based, app-creation software. React Native Needs an interpreter to decipher the code for iOS which slowed down the coding speed somewhat. This made it slower than Ionic’s interpreter + plugin coding version. Did not include any 64-bit support for Android. No development capabilities within the browser. Does not have a clear and concise native feel or look for its widgets. No background code support for iOS. Ionic When I tried it out, there did not seem to be any 64-bit support for Android. Used HTML script for widgets which drastically reduced the app performance for both Android and iOS. Does not include hot-swapping codes for either iOS or Android. Full-set of widgets not available. Main Features of React Native There are 4 important features - more like advantages - that I feel React Native has over any other similar software out there. These features are listed below. A community of developers: The React Native software is not just a mobile app development tool but an actual community that brings together JS and native developers together through a single platform where they can share their knowledge and developmental elements and tools. Reusable Code: With React Native it is possible to use the same code on both iOS and Android. This saves time, effort, and costs during the development process. Reload
