Why React Native & React JS are Popular ?

INTRODUCTION:

The rapid rise in technologies has compelled enterprises to modernize new apps, service delivery channels, and digital platforms. React Native is one of those technologies that assists enterprises in the pace of digital disruption.

React Native is one of the most loved technologies in Mobile app development, It allows developers to write code in one language that is JavaScript and port the same to other platforms which saves a lot of time. But, earlier developers were used to write different codes to create apps in iOS and Android.

Whereas in React JS allows the developer to create rich and engaging web and mobile applications with the least coding processes. It is an open-source framework whose JavaScript library has been designed by the popular social media leader Facebook.

WHY DEVELOPERS LOVE REACT NATIVE?

With many numbers of applications available in the market, developers prefer to use React Native for many reasons, as follows:

• Reusable Codes: Writing multiple codes for iOS and Android is the old style. The React Native Framework compiles the data to the device’s machine language and permits the developer to reuse the codes wherever required.
• Responsive User interface: Web Application developers like React Native for many reasons, but responsive user interface stands at the top. In terms of design, it looks more like a JavaScript library than a framework. It takes less loading time and gives you a feel of more responsiveness.
• Cost-effective and Time Saving: The framework in the React Native allows a developer to fix UI bugs and help in debugging. The reusable codes can be used in other app development platforms and thus saves time & cost.
• Cross-platform compatibility: This cross-platform compatibility allows a developer to use a single component that works on both Android and iOS. It runs on the host platform’s JavaScript engine, so a developer can enjoy the benefits of animations & performance that too without writing code.
• Animations: Animation plays a crucial role in implementing successful UI and UX of the mobile app. The React Native provides lenient animation features. As compared to other frameworks, React-native provides extremely smooth animations as the codes are converted to native views.
• Community support: This community forum gives you access to understand the trends of React Native. You can get help from experts in the community. You can share your experiences with the community and get recognized for writing your code.
• Simple Integration Process: This platform allows you to synchronize your hybrid apps with other compatible apps. The integration process is simple, smoother & user-friendly. For example, working with a device’s native application camera, messaging, GPS gives smooth UX and is compatible with most of the hybrid apps.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REACT NATIVE AND REACT.JS

Though ReactJS looks very similar to React-Native, there are certain differences in their use and structure. React.js is a JavaScript library to create user-friendly and responsive UI components for web applications whereas React Native is a JavaScript framework exercised to build native applications as it compiles to React Native Application for mobiles.

WHY REACT JS?

In this app world, React JS allows developers to build fast and highly interactive UIs using javascript. User-friendliness in interacting with Virtual DOM, faster learning curve and ease of building dynamic UI components are the major reasons why developers always prefer React.JS to create robust applications. The popularity of React JS is growing immensely & the usage of React JS in 2018 looked something like the figure given below.

REASONS TO LOVE REACT JS:

• Easy to Learn and Manage
• Less Coding
• Fast, Agile and Dynamic for Web Applications
• Empowers JSX Language
• Worldwide Development Community of Active developers
• Stability of DOM (Document Object Model)
• User-Friendly

VIRTUAL DOM IN REACT JS

DOM stands for Document Object Model. With the use of React, one can modify the DOM with the help of Virtual DOM and can utilize the same to make any apps ultra-modern. The React Platform empowers the developers to bring out some elegant web and mobile apps with its brilliant code and structure.

In a React application, any changes to the real DOM will be made by comparing changes to the virtual DOM. For any changes, the previous snapshot and current value of the virtual DOM is compared and only the specific changes are identified by a process called diffing and these changes are made to the real DOM.

Advantages of Virtual DOM

• It works faster with existing React Algorithms
• Adding JSX and Hyper Script builds multiple frontends for the same application
• Countless Tractions and mindshare
• Alter the DOM without React as an independent engine
• It stays lightweight and proficient to run in every mobile device

CONCLUSION

The value of any website and app depends on various parameters like user-friendliness, eye-catching design, attractive user interface, and hasslefree navigation. Enterprises often look for a forum that is highly functional, resilient & eases to access applications. React is the best choice for decorating an impressive website. It assists enterprises in deploying highly functional admin-panel. The cross-platform nature of React reduces time-to-market and the libraries & ready-to-use components make this app special.
