React Native is a framework developed by Facebook that allows developers to build mobile applications using JavaScript and React. It enables cross-platform development, meaning developers can write code once and deploy it on both iOS and Android platforms. React Native uses a combination of native components and JavaScript to create a rich, native-like user experience while maintaining the efficiency and agility of web development. This approach enables faster development cycles, easier maintenance, and the ability to leverage existing web development skills, making it a popular choice for building mobile applications.
