React native vs flutter app development

1. React Native Vs. Flutter App Development People nowadays enjoy everything in their comfort zone, and mobile phones have become a prominent reason for this. The increasing number of mobile app users pushes mobile app development companies to come up with the latest mobile phones then and now. Results from Statista say, “There are around 3.6 million mobile app users in 2023, and this number is expected to reach 7.6 million in 2027. The numbers represent that developing mobile applications has become the need of the hour. Two cross-platform frameworks are used for building cross-platform applications- 1.React Native 2.Flutter What is React native? Facebook developed react native in 2015. React native is an open-source framework that is available to developers for free. It is used for building cross-platform applications. Here, developers need not write code twice because the same code is reusable for developing different apps for IOS and Android. React native is often considered a flexible framework as it enables the developers to use React and JavaScript side by side. For app development React native framework is used by top tech giants, which include Facebook, Skype, Tesla, and Bloomberg. What is Flutter? Flutter is an open-source framework for building cross-platform apps. Google developed this framework in 2017. Flutter uses Dart as its programming language. Flutter allows developers to use this framework for free. It is expected that Flutter will take the position of react native in the coming few years but we are not still not sure which framework will rule the tech world.

2. Statista says,” React Native was used by 38% of developers in 2021. On the contrary, Flutter is used by 42% of developers for building mobile apps” The figures represent that the Flutter app development service is getting massive support from developers. Difference Between React Native and Flutter Basis React Native Flutter Programming language React native uses JavaScript for building cross-platform applications Flutter uses Dart programming language for developing cross-platform apps

3. Flutter does not use any JavaScript library to interact with native components. Flutters offers the speed of 60 frames per second to develop interactive applications React native uses Native APIs and components to develop native like apps (40-45 frames per second) Performance React native has huge community of developers because react native framework is there in market Flutter is though a new framework but it is continue to grow in coming years. Community support React native uses third-party libraries to provide a native like application. It does not have its own UI components. Flutter has its UI rendering engine to create user-friendly apps that could work on multiple platforms User interface The codebase of flutter is more reusable as UI widget is once defined and logic can be reused again React native is based on “write code once and use it everywhere” Code reusability Applications developed through react native framework is hard to maintain as it uses different plugins to ensure proper maintenance. It is easy to maintain an app that is developed through Flutter framework as google regularly tests the app against new versions Maintenance Since flutter is powered by google, support for libraries is extensive. Interoperability Interoperability is bit complex in terms of react native as the libraries available are

4. non-functional, even the wrapper written up for them doesn’t provide a support React native framework is used by many companies including Bloomberg, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, uber eats etc. Flutter framework is used by leading players such as Google ads, E-bay, Groupon, Alibaba etc. Top giants Read the full blog: React Native vs Flutter app development
