Introduction of React-Native
What is React-Native ?
React-Native is a java-script framework, which is used for cross-platform mobile application development. It is a hybrid technologies to develop mobile application for both android and iOS platform.
Advantages of React-Native:-
1) Saves Time and Money
Because 95% or more of the code is cross-platform, meaning it is compatible with both Android and iOS, developers only need to build one app, and in the end two apps are created. This saves time in development of the app, which saves a lot of money that would have been put into building separate apps. In addition maintenance and updates are done on both apps at the same time which saves on future costs once the apps are built and launched.
2) Great Performance
React Native apps perform almost exactly like a native app that was built on the specific iOS or Android platform. They are also fast because the programming language is optimized for mobile devices. Instead of mainly using the central processing unit (CPU), React Native apps take advantage of the graphics processing unit (GPU). This makes them much faster than cross-platform hybrid technologies.
3) Increased Flexibility
The type of interface used in React Native makes it easy for different developers on a team to jump in where someone else left off and continue building. This increases team flexibility, and makes it easier to update and upgrade the mobile app. It also creates flexibility for testers who are able to create testing scenarios much easier. These advantages also contribute toward saving time and money.
4) Moveable
If it is desired or becomes necessary to move the app to another development framework in the future, app developers don’t need to start over. They can export the app from React Native and move it into Android Studio or X-code and continue from there. This is a huge benefit of using React Native for mobile app development and adds to its flexibility.
5) Immediately View Changes
React Native offers something called “live reloading” or “hot reloading” which enables developers to immediately view the changes they’ve made to the code in another live preview window simultaneously. This provides a great advantage to developers due to the real-time feedback.
6) Publish Updates for Your Apps Faster
Publishing updates for your app used to take a lot longer, requiring developers to go through a build process again with each app separately. With React Native that process has been streamlined. Not only can both apps be updated at the same time, but the whole process is much simpler and can be done much faster. As you create improvements and updates for your users, developers implement them through over the air (OTA) updates, which are implemented even as users are using the app. Then, the next time the app is opened, the update is ready for the user. There is no longer a need to update the app through the app stores manually and have them approved by Apple or Android, which saves time and makes the process much more streamlined..
7) Augmenting an Existing App
Got an existing app but want to augment it in a cost effective way? We can insert React Native UI components into an existing app without rewriting the app. This can be a boon when you just want to augment an existing app without fully rewriting it.
