React Native Vs Ionic
WHICH IS THE BEST CROSS-PLATFORM FRAMEWORK?

INTRODUCTION
With the rising demand of smartphone users, it
has become important for businesses to focus on
developing mobile apps. But while developing a
mobile app, an important question comes to the
mind Which is the Best Cross-Platform
Framework? Therefore, to clear out this
confusion about the best mobile development
framework, lets do Ionic vs React Native
comparison based on different parameters.

1). Building Blocks
Ionic is an HTML5 framework that makes use of a
wide range of UI components. For building a
hybrid app using Ionic, the code is compiled
using Cordova/PhoneGap, hence called its building
blocks. Whereas, React Native has a different
approach. Rather than building a single app that
runs on all other platforms, React Native allows
you to share a large portion of JavaScript code
among Android, iOS and Universal Windows Platform.

2). Adaptability
Ionic becomes a better choice for cross-platform
development as the same code is used to run the
application across all platforms. Whereas,
React Native does not allow you to ignore
platform-specific logic, similar to native app
development. Therefore, you have to focus on
developing platform-specific components.

3). Testing
It is the point where both the technologies are
neck to neck. Both of these cross-platform
frameworks allow real-time testing with previews
across different browsers. However, React
Native is one step ahead as it even shows the
preview of modifications while working on them.

4). App Rendering
Ionic makes use of web technologies to render an
application. The main programming language of
Ionic is TypeScript On the other hand, React
Native makes use of JavaScriptCore virtual
machine (JVM) for both iOS and Android.

CONCLUSION
The most significant difference is that Google
supports Ionic whereas Facebook supports React
Native. As already stated, one technology is
leveraged to create native apps while the other
is focused primarily on hybrid apps. So, it
depends on what your preference is. Depending
upon on your business needs and expectations, a
mobile app developer could guide you best to
choose between the two technologies.
