# React Native

With React Native we build cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase — without compromising on native performance.

## What is React Native?

React Native is an open-source framework from Facebook for building mobile applications with JavaScript and React. One codebase, two platforms: iOS and Android. The approach saves time and cost without sacrificing user experience.

## Why React Native?

React Native uses native components — not a web wrapper. The app feels and behaves like a proper native application, because it is one.

## Key benefits

* **Cross-platform** — A large portion of code is shared between iOS and Android, without losing platform-specific behaviour where it matters.
* **Native performance** — Direct binding to native UI components delivers smooth animations and fast interactions.
* **Hot reloading** — Code changes appear instantly without losing application state. Faster iteration, higher productivity.
* **Reusable components** — Component-based architecture, just like React for web — modular and maintainable.
* **Access to native modules** — Integrate platform-specific functionality like camera, GPS or push notifications when needed.
* **Large ecosystem** — An active community with a wide range of third-party plugins and libraries.

## When to choose React Native?

When you need a mobile app for multiple platforms and want to deploy a single team efficiently. Particularly well-suited when your team already has React experience from web development.

## Our approach

We build with shared logic wherever possible and platform-specific code where required. You get the best of both worlds — efficient development and a quality user experience on every platform.
