Frontend development involves creating visual and interactive elements for websites, apps, and software products using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML determines the structure of the website, CSS is used for layout, and JavaScript is used for interactivity. Frontend technologies are essential for creating modern, responsive websites with an improved user experience. Some examples of frontend technologies include Vue.js, Angular.js, Bootstrap, Next.js, React.js, React Native, and more. In this context, we will focus on comparing React.js and React Native.

React.js vs React Native

React.js is an open-source JavaScript library for creating single-page user interfaces for website applications. While JavaScript also helps in creating interactive user experiences, React.js offers a more straightforward approach with numerous libraries that make the website application building process easier, interactive, responsive, and compatible with modern technologies.

Moving on to React Native, although it sounds similar to React.js, it serves a different purpose in the application process. React Native is used to build mobile applications that run on both iOS and Android devices, utilizing native UI components and APIs to create mobile apps.

React Native and React.js share the same syntax and use similar libraries such as Axios, Bootstrap, and Tailwind CSS. However, they are used in different situations, with React.js being suitable for building website applications and React Native for building mobile applications compatible with both iOS and Android.
