React Native is a popular framework developed by Meta that allows developers to build cross-platform mobile applications using JavaScript and React.
Unlike other cross-platform solutions, React Native renders native components — giving apps the look and feel of fully native experiences, with performance to match. It supports platform-specific code where needed while maximizing code reuse between iOS and Android.
React Native integrates well with native modules, third-party plugins, and modern development tools like Expo. It’s widely used for building consumer-facing apps, MVPs, and mobile-first products with limited development resources.
