REACT.JS AND REACT NATIVE: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?

WHAT IS REACT.JS?

React, often known as React.js, is one of the most well-known JavaScript libraries on the market today.

It is used by both small businesses and established enterprises to build mobile apps and one-page applications. React.js is used by both Facebook and Instagram in their mobile applications. A JavaScript package called React.js was developed primarily for building the view layer of websites and mobile applications. To create a more durable structure for its apps, it uses reusable components. Facebook opened the library to the public in 2011. Since then, its popularity has increased dramatically.

ADVANTAGES OF REACT.JS:

· Data inputs and outputs are graphically represented by the DOM (Document Object Model). The virtual DOM is quicker than the conventional full refresh paradigm since it only updates selected areas of the page. The curious thing is that the Facebook team was not aware that only partially refreshing a page would be quicker. Partial DOM refresh was an unforeseen result of Facebook's attempt to speed up re-builds. This boosts efficiency and makes programming more rapid.

· Your web app's SEO will be improved by the complete rendering of your pages from the server to the browser.

· Reusing code components using React JS helps you save a lot of time.

· It is easy to read even for individuals who are not familiar with React. Many frameworks demand that you master a wide range of concepts that are unique to the framework. React aims to accomplish the opposite.

· It quickens debugging, making life simpler for your developer.

WHAT IS REACT NATIVE?

In order to suit the company's expanding mobile needs, Facebook developed React Native as an open-source framework. For creating native mobile applications with reusable components that can run in JavaScript on different platforms including Windows, Android, and iOS, React Native is quite helpful.

Reactjs serves as the foundation for React Native, with the exception of the library components.

ADVANTAGES OF REACT NATIVE:

· React Native comes with Native Modules and Native Components to boost speed. While Cordova, PhoneGap, and other cross-platform frameworks render code using WebView, React Native renders certain code components using native APIs.

· You don't need to develop the same app for iOS and Android separately thanks to React Native's ability to reuse the common logic layer.

· All of the advantages that React.js offered are there in React Native. Those benefits continue to exist since React.js concentrates on a better user interface.

· React Native will be simple to learn if you are already familiar with JavaScript, enabling the majority of front-end web developers to also work on mobile applications. Just be familiar with JavaScript.

· To begin, use any platform-specific design patterns, native UI components, and platform APIs.

· In contrast to most hybrid frameworks, React Native's component-based architecture enables developers to design apps in a more agile, web-style approach and without the usage of any web at all.

· React Native is all about giving your users a native app experience by bringing the speed, responsiveness, and agility of web app development to the hybrid environment, combined with efficient processing and the greatest user experience.

CONCLUSION

React is a JavaScript-based framework for developing applications. React Native is an entire platform that allows you to create native, cross-platform mobile apps, and React.js is a JavaScript library that you can use to build a high-performance UI layer. React.js is the heart of React Native, and it embodies all of React's principles and syntax, making it simple to learn. Their technical differences are due to the platform. React's browser code, for example, is rendered using Virtual DOM, whereas React Native renders components on mobile using Native APIs. React uses HTML, and with React Native, you must become acquainted with the React Native syntax. CSS is also not used by React Native. This means you'll have to use React Native's animated API to animate various components of your application.
