Why consider React Native for your next Mobile Application Development Framework?

Mobile phones have slowly become an integral part of our lives, without us even realizing it. Mobile phone users make a substantial number of their customer base. But for business owners, choosing between an application with an exceptional User Interface [UI] along with a User Experience [UX] that is par excellence; or, an application which is cross-platform compatible and supports faster development is often the question where they get confused.

This is exactly where React steps in, it helps you create mobile applications developed in JavaScript that are compatible with both iOS and Android. React Native requires you to code just once, and via that code enables development for iOS and Android compatible mobile applications. React Native was created based on ReactJS and has since been a strong competitor to AngularJS.

Why is React Native Important?

We try to summarise some of the major reasons which make React Native an important development tool.

1. Easily render iOS and Android application UI.

2. Being an OpenSource provides the possibility of it being compatible with other OpenSource platforms in the future.

3. The components can be used to create iOS and Android applications.

4. React Native provides the functionality to incorporate its components into existing app codes.

5. Easier, Simpler, and Faster development of applications.

6. Anyone having expertise is JavaScript can code in React Native without having to learn Swift Code or Android-specific Java.

7. Easier Development for iOS and Android applications without the need for losing out on features and functionality.

React Native has managed to end the dilemma for business owners to choose between having an iOS or Android application. Statistically speaking iOS users make up a small percentage of mobile phone users, yet manage to generate more profits. Earlier business owners faced the question of garnering profits or user numbers but, thanks to React Native they can cater to both the audiences with a single set of code.

Pros and Cons of using React Native Framework

Pros:

Cross-Platform Development

Enhanced Performance

React Native Framework enables developers to create applications that are free from lag and offer the same experience on both iOS and Android platforms. React Native apps are compiled in code that is written natively, which offers better usability. 

Faster Development

As a result, that applications for both mobile platforms can be developed with a single set of code leads to faster development of applications and also benefits in terms of saving cost for business owners as you do not need two different development teams.

Cons:

Lack of Custom Modules

Even tough React Native offers easier usability the platform lacks some components and those that are available are underdeveloped. Though the existing components available work properly and are well documented; but seldom you might end up developing a custom solution or trying to modify an existing one    

React Native Developers Needed

The implementation of some modules and features requires a thorough knowledge of the platform. Tough things are slowly changing as the platform is growing and so is the community of developers. Till the time React Native platform has completely matured, the support of iOS and Android proficient developers is required, to implement complex features and functionality.

React Native might have its drawbacks and a few hiccups, but the framework ticks all the right checkboxes for all informed business owners and developers. Developers have experienced the agility this platform has to offer along with its high performance.
