Why React Native?

Facebook created React Native to build its mobile applications. The motivation to do so originated from the fact that React for the web was so successful. So, if React is such a good tool for UI development, and you need a native application, then why fight it? Just make React work with native mobile OS UI elements!

In this chapter, you'll learn about the motivations for using React Native to build native mobile web applications. Here are the topics that we'll cover in this chapter:

What is React Native?
React and JSX are familiar
The mobile browser experience
Android and iOS—different yet the same
The case for mobile web apps
