As the number of cell phone users increases, so does the number of apps. Faced with the growing demand for these applications, many developers as well as companies are looking for ways to facilitate their productions. Our customers have understood that for their product to be well received by their entire audience, it must be on both iOS and Android. However, creating the same application for both platforms requires designing and developing the same thing for two different platforms.
This is where React Native comes in. React Native is a cross-platform framework designed by Facebook to give developers the ability to build apps for iOS and Android without having to develop a specific user interface and UX for each platform. This framework is open source and transposes the concepts of web development to mobile development. Although the development language for these applications is JavaScript, the result is stunning and works like a real native application.
So, now that you have a better understanding of what React Native is, let’s talk about its benefits.
Summary
– Saving time
– Cross-platform applications
– Very good performance: React Native is as fast as the native
– React native is an open source framework
– In conclusion
Saving time
Let’s start with one of the most obvious advantages of using the native React framework over the native option: saving time. You will save a lot of time because you will not need to develop two different applications. Indeed, instead of using different languages for each platform, you can use the same code for iOS and Android. This also means that in addition to saving time on development you will also save time on tests and updates because you will only have one application to test.
Cross-platform applications
React Native helps build cross-platform mobile apps. Using React Native, you can use the same code for deploying your app on iOS and Android. With just one code written, React Native means half the build and maintenance costs and requires only one team of developers. Based on our experience with React Native development, we estimate that you can save at least 30% compared to native development. The exact savings depend on the number and complexity of the features in your project.
Very good performance: React Native is as fast as the native
Mobile apps in Swift and React Native are almost identical in appearance and speed. React’s native architecture is very well suited for mobile devices. It uses the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), while native platforms are more CPU intensive. Either way, your users won’t be able to see the difference between a React Native app and a Swift / Objective-C or Java / Kotlin app.
Thanks to React Native you have a platform specific user interface, which gives the feel of a native mobile app due to the interactions of JavaScript with the native environment. A native React application ensures speed and agility for mobile applications as well as a user experience modeled on a native application. A famous example of an application in React Native is Instagram.
React native is an open source framework
React Native is fully open source. This means that developers can use the frameworks and their libraries literally for free.
In conclusion
Elitech Systems, simple by the many advantages offered by the use of this framework, specialized in the development of mobile applications using React Native. From startups to large corporations, if you are thinking of embarking on a new mobile project, use React Native – you won’t regret it.
