Overview

Nowadays the Smartphone market is changing. Apps are launching every day. Also, new smartphones come and old smartphones and technology disappear from us faster. Mainly two types of smartphones available in the market, Android and IOS. For these, developing separate apps with separate code and languages called native apps are expensive and time consuming so the market is moving toward hybrid apps which develop two apps with the same code base. It saves time and money. There are many technologies available in the market for hybrid mobile app development. But here we will discuss React Native and Ionic . Below, we will see main differences in react native and flutter.

React Native

React Native is an open-source framework created by Meta in 2015. It is used in javascript to develop apps for Android, Android TV ,IOS, Web,Windows etc by enabling developers to use the React framework along with native platform capabilities It is also being used to develop virtual reality applications.

Ionic

Ionic framework is an open-source UI toolkit for building performant, high-quality mobile apps, desktop apps, and progressive web apps using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The first beta version of the Ionic framework was released in March 2013 by Max Lynch, Ben Sperry, and Adam Bradley of Drifty Co.
