ReactJs is a Javascript library preferred for building UI for web applications. Facebook developed it in the year 2011 for the newsfeed section. As rightly said, a solution arises when there is a problem to be solved. Same way, Facebook developers observed slow speed because of the constant updates on the application. Their UI failed to handle the overload, and hence, ReactJs was developed to handle the problem.

The public version of ReactJs was released in the year 2013. ReactJs takes care of the UI or, say, the view layer of the app. ReactJs extends its support for both the front-end and the server. The complex UI is developed from smaller chunks of code referred to as “components”. The ease & popularity of ReactJs grew in no time. It was soon used to render UI in WhatsApp & Instagram.

React Native is a fascinating cross-platform framework preferred for building mobile apps for Android, Apple, and Windows. It is an open-source Javascript framework used for building apps reflecting native-app like qualities. ReactNative is similar to ReactJs; however, it compiles native app components for building mobile applications.
