   Let’s see pros and cons of both react and flutter, react vs flutter. Developing an app is one of the most important goals every programmers have. Some may find it hard, but others can achieve their goal in limited time. It all depends on their knowledge and practice. But the most important step before getting into app development would be to chose the right framework for their need. As there are various frameworks available today that can ease your work, it won’t be a big problem to find the right one.

   React Native and Flutter, both of which are amazing platforms that provides various features to help you develop your app more efficiently and effectively. Here are the comparisons between both these frameworks that would help you to choose the right one:

    

   React Native:

    

   Introduction:

   • React Native is an open-source UI software framework created by Facebook, Inc.
   • It is used to develop applications for Android, Android TV, iOS, macOS, tvOS, Web, Windows and UWP by enabling developers to use the React framework along with native platform capabilities

   Programing Language:

   • React Native uses JavaScript.
   • In particular, ReactJS – a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
   • Also, Javascript is titled as the most used programming language to develop apps.
   • For web developers, working with React Native comes easy.

   Architecture:

   • React Native enables the communication between JavaScript and the native language via the JavaScript bridge.
   • Here’s how it works: The two sides communicate by sending JSON messages. The messaging is asynchronous, which means the app’s UI should be smooth. Still, there’s a chance of a lagging UI in the end because the bridge impacts the rendering speed.

   Installation:

   • React Native’s configuration process is simple.
   • Basically, you install React-Native CLI globally through the command line.
   • Keep in mind, you will also need NodeJS and Yarn installed as a package manager.

   User Interface:

   • Thanks to JavaScript bridge, React Native renders the native components for each platform.
   • This feature allows for creating the look and feel of native Android and iOS applications.
   • The prominent advantage is that React Native has lots of ready-made components to use as building blocks.
   • Sadly, there are drawbacks as well. For instance, it’s hard to replicate complex UI in a React Native app. Also, the React Native components can behave differently on different platforms.

    

   Flutter:

    

   Introduction:

   • Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google.
   • It is used to develop cross platform applications for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Windows, Google Fuchsia, and the web from a single codebase.
   • The first version of Flutter was known as codename “Sky” and ran on the Android operating system.

   Programming Language:

   • Flutter, you have to use Dart – a programming language created by Google.
   • As a client-optimized language, Dart has many advantages. Take productive app development, for instance.
   • Dart resembles other popular OOP languages, such as Java and C++.
   • If you are familiar with either of those, you’ll pick it up quickly. On top of that, according to Stack Overflow, Dart is more loved by developers than JavaScript.

   Architecture:

   • Flutter doesn’t require a bridge to communicate with native components.
   • It has everything packed within itself, including frameworks like Cupertino and Material Design.
   • Thanks to this Flutter advantage, apps are more stable and predictable on different platforms than React Native apps.

   Installation:

   • You can install Flutter by downloading the binary for a specific mobile platform.
   • The next step is adding it to your PATH variable.
   • Lucky for you, this can be done via the command line. With this additional setting, though, Flutter loses points to React Native. Its installation isn’t that straightforward.

   User Interface:

   • Flutter has UI widgets packaged within itself, which means creating native-like applications is easy.
   • No need to search for third-party libraries – a large library of framework widgets is enough. Besides, Flutter apps are consistent across all platforms.
   • Flutter also features fast app compilation.
