React Native
React Native is a cross-platform mobile framework that enables developers to build native mobile applications using JavaScript and React. By leveraging a shared codebase, React Native allows for the development of iOS and Android apps simultaneously, reducing development time and effort.
Unlike traditional hybrid frameworks, React Native renders native UI components, providing a smoother and more responsive user experience. It also supports features like hot reloading, platform-specific code optimizations, and seamless integration with native modules when needed.
Where is it used in the stack?
React Native is used to build the mobile application, ensuring a consistent and high-performance experience across both iOS and Android platforms.
Why are we using it?
React Native was chosen for its efficiency, code reusability, and strong developer ecosystem. By allowing for a shared codebase across platforms, it accelerates development while maintaining native performance and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for mobile development in a modern tech stack.
