Today there’s an increasing demand for cross-platform mobile applications. Because a mobile app development company needs to have two separate teams, one for Android apps and another for iOS, there has always been a gap between the applications developed for these two platforms. There are many solutions to this problem. But the most popular among them is creating compiled apps whose performances are closer to that of real, native apps. And among the development platforms, you now have Google’s Flutter as well as Facebook’s React Native. Flutter is a reactive cross-platform mobile application development framework based on the Dart Language. And the React Native is a JavaScript framework, based upon the react library. Both the React Native as well as the React Library are created by Facebook. Let’s now look at the pros and cons of both these robust mobile application development platforms.
Flutter
As mentioned earlier, the Flutter mobile app development framework is based on Dart, both of which have been built by Google. Google has been using this framework for quite a while now, for creating some of its biggest applications yet. It has been constantly striving to create the ultimate solution for developing cross-platform applications. Flutter is a reactive framework, which means that it can be used for reactive programming. Reactive programming is a powerful form of programming and is quite useful in the case of mobile app development. An app development company Bangalore can use reactive programming for developing really powerful mobile applications. But why is reactive programming so powerful? To take action, you will need to send a request to a server. And depending upon the response given by the server, some action has to be taken. However, in case you take an action before the server responds, it results in what is commonly known as a null reference. The problem arises when multiple such requests are sent. In that case, multiple parts of your program have to respond to the incoming requests. This problem paved the way for the birth of what is known as reactive programming. The reactive programming is the heart of the Dart Language.
React Native
Unlike Flutter, React Native is a component-based, cross-platform, mobile application development framework. It uses the set of components housed in the React Native library for developing mobile applications. React Native also uses a virtual DOM to facilitate communication between the native UI elements. Since React Native framework has been around for some years now, its ecosystem is far more advanced than that of Flutter’s. Coming to the performance of the apps, each of the React Native as well as Flutter frameworks have their own approaches. While Flutter’s applications are compiled using ARM C or C++ Library, so that they can be closer to machine language code, React Native, on the other hand, have their UI components compiled into their native equivalents, and the Java Scripts run in a separate thread, communicating with native modules for any of the actions which require a bridge. This enhances the performance of applications developed through the React Native framework, which makes it better than other hybrid alternatives like Ionic or Cordova. However, even with all that, React Native is still behind Flutter due to its closeness to native applications. So, even with the kind of performance the React Native has, an Android application development company India is still better off using Flutter than React Native, because of the support it provides to native applications.
So, when asked the question, which one of the two is better? Flutter or React Native? It’s quite tough, almost impossible, in fact, to pick a winner. The performance of the applications developed using each of these development frameworks depends on various factors including the kind of apps the device is running, the operating system even the code quality. Also, there are no benchmark applications that have been written so far, that determines which one of them will perform better with reference to mobile applications. But an Android app development company India should use Flutter for developing mobile apps, because of its closeness to native Android applications.
