Native development for everyone React Native lets you create truly native apps and doesn't compromise your users' experiences. It provides a core set of platform agnostic native components like View , Text , and Image that map directly to the platform's native UI building blocks. Get a head start with a framework React Native brings the React programming paradigm to platforms like Android and iOS. It doesn’t prescribe how to do routing, or how to access each of the numerous platform APIs. To build a new app with React Native, we recommend a framework like Expo . File-based routing Create stack, modal, drawer, and tab screens with minimal boilerplate using your filesystem. Use any library, SDK, or native code Generate native changes or write your own native code. Use over 50 modules to create your app. Developer tools Get started quickly with Expo Go, then continue with expo-dev-client: a module that adds Expo’s tools to apps that require native changes.
