I have started to learn React out of curiosity and wanted to know the difference between React and React Native - though could not find a satisfactory answer using Google. React and React Native seems to have the same format. Do they have completely different syntax?
ReactJS is a JavaScript library, supporting both front-end web and being run on a server, for building user interfaces and web applications. It follows the concept of reusable components.
React Native is a mobile framework that makes use of the JavaScript engine available on the host, allowing you to build mobile applications for different platforms (iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile) in JavaScript that allows you to use ReactJS to build reusable components and communicate with native components further explanation
Both follow the JSX syntax extension of JavaScript. Which compiles to React.createElement
calls under the hood. JSX in-depth
Both are open-sourced by Facebook.
