Difference between ReactJS and React Native

One common confusion that every novice developer has is the difference between React.js and React Native. The main reason for this confusion is react.js and react native shares the same parents, even more, similar names, and standard technology backbone. But, it doesn’t mean that there is nothing different between them. However, to understand them, we need to understand the necessary information about both of the framework.
ReactJS VS React Native

React.js

React.js is an open-source Javascript library used to develop the user interface (UI) for web applications. It is responsible only for the view layer of the application. The Facebook team created it in 2011. React.js provides support for both frontend and server-side. The name Jordan Walke, a software engineer at Facebook, develops react.js framework. React.js is developed and maintained by Facebook, but later it is used by WhatsApp and Instagram.

React Native:

React Native is an open-source framework for building the native application using javascript. Just code one time and react native apps are available for Android and IOS, which help developer save lots of development time. Same as a react.js react native also has the base abstraction of React DOM. This suggests that while components are different, their syntax and workflow remains similar.

Let’s take a look at the advantages of the React.js and React Native.

Advantages of React.js

  1. React.js is very easy to use. The developer who comes from a javascript background quickly understands react.js and starts to code it to build the web application.

  2. You can create a dynamic web application with react.js easily. It provides less coding and more functionality.

  3. React.js web app made up of multiple components. These components have its logic and controls. These components and reusable, you can use wherever you need them. It helps you to make your app easy to develop and maintain.

  4. React.js supports a handy set of tools which make the task of developers understandable and more comfortable.

  5. It also improves debugging speed, which highly favours the developer’s work.

Advantages of React Native:

  1. It provides the facility of working with both platform Android as well as iOS devices.

  2. It has a larger community who helps us to find any answer we require.

  3. If we change something in the coding of the app will be immediately visible during development.

  4. Javascript knowledge is used to develop react native mobile application.

  5. React Native provides all benefits of react.js, such as delivering a user-friendly UI.

Difference between React.js and React Native

  1. React.js is a framework to build an application using javascript where React Native is an entire platform which allows you to develop native and cross-platform mobile applications.

  2. The browser code in react.js renders through a virtual DOM when React Native uses native APIs to renders all the components on mobile.

  3. React.js works with CSS to animate and style while react native uses the animated API to animate and style the components.

  4. React.js uses react-router to navigate web pages while react native have their in-built navigation library to navigate the mobile application.

  5. React Native does not use any third party library tools for its development process. But comes to react.js it is not a framework. That’s why it uses third-party tools for their development process.

In this blog, we will give full details of how React.js and React Native different from each other. Bothe react.js and react Native has a promising future. Now, which should you pick? Well, it depends on the requirements right. Hire react js or react native developer to make you mobile app genuinely native.
