Building mobile applications with JavaScript is becoming popular as an alternative to building applications natively. Technology leader in this field of today's date is React Native.

The reasons are many, here’s some examples:
Cutting down product development costs by using a single code base to target both Android and iOS
Access to a large community of developers
Applying existing web development knowledge and eco-system to mobile

Based on my experience from building multiple mobile apps using both React Native and native technologies, I would like to showcase the pros and cons of React Native and how the technology compares with native app development.

Not every new application should be built using React Native, one has to consider the product and resources before taking a decision. Existing or new applications could also benefit from integrating React Native and running certain parts of the application with JavaScript in parallel to the native environment.

I invite native mobile app developers to reconsider hybrid technologies such as React Native for their next project.
