    It is suitable for making portable applications, with almost the same code for several platforms. You can access native features of the device or use an open source plug-in from the repository to create a local database and access the internal storage of the device. It is wonderful for the construction of a native application, through the use of standard web code. It is not recommended for enterprise applications.

    We are implementing React Native framework for the development of the Front-End for the machine learning models maintenance and monitoring website. It provides meaningful error messages, and time-saving and robust tools make it a premium choice over other platforms. Moreover, it provides intelligent debugging tools and error report mechanisms. And most importantly for us, it provides the aesthetic minimal functionality to learn in order to implement it, thereby eliminating the need to work in Xcode or Android Studio for iOS or Android apps respectively.

    Pros
    Apache
    • Adobe Phone Gap has an extremely simple user interface that allows for easy learning to occur.
    • Adobe Phone Gap provides support for web languages and allows you to write in three of the main languages and transfer them to another language for use. This solves a common programming issue and is the greatest strength of the software.
    • Their desktop application allows for easy installation and programming.
    • Adobe provides quick support with questions about how to use the software.
    • The build interface notifies you of errors extremely quickly and helps identify the issue in your programming. You get an easy idea of what needs to be updated and adjusted.

    Cons
    Apache
    • Cordova app code runs inside a webview component. So, expect the performance to be a little slower as compared to the native apps. This is more noticeable on older devices though. It is hardly noticeable when it comes to newer mobile devices.
    • Crashes can be hard to debug since the crash logs will not point you to the culprit javascript code. This is not a limitation of Cordova alone. Any other hybrid mobile app development platform suffers the same problem.
    • Even with tools like Safari debugger and Chrome debugger, it can be tricky to measure graphics and animation performance. Achieving smooth animations can be a bit of a challenge sometimes with hybrid mobile apps in general.

    • sometime we need external repos to develop an feature
    • external application may break the performance of the application while integrating with the React Native.
    • external database connectivity can be handle better while we are implementing server-client validations.

    React Native uses JavaScript in the frontend and hooks and functions in the backend to connect the database to the real-time application. It also does not need any external support for multilevel configuration for different platforms. In terms of usability, it perfectly holds the front-end and backend development with some external configuration if we require it in our business. Sometimes it requires more configurations and pathways to build a certain level of functionality for the end users, but every technology has a tough phase where a certain concept get lack of visibilty to the users.

    Apache Cordova is the mother of all other frameworks. The Ionic developed framework is well suited for development but most of their features are offered by paid services. As Apache Cordova is open source and has a license to modify it, it has no legal problems to work with it. Also, most well-known IDEs recognize the Apache Cordova snippets.

    Compared with Angular and Vue, Reactive Native doesn't have a steep learning curve, considering it is a complete solution, and mastering Angular and Vue requires one to learn associated concepts like TypeScript and MVC. In React, the same code base may be implemented for creating a UI element and dictating its behavior, thereby eliminating the over-engineering procedures and following programming paradigms like KISS, DRY and SOLID.
