Aspect | React Native | Flutter |
---|---|---|
Programming Language | JavaScript and React (or TypeScript) | Dart |
UI Components | Uses native components, rendered using native UI views | Uses a widget-based system, where all UI components are widgets forming a tree |
Performance | Generally good, but may have some limitations due to the bridge | A steeper learning curve, especially for those not familiar with Dart; provides a more consistent and structured framework |
Development Environment | Wide range of IDEs and text editors, integrates well with JavaScript tools | Comprehensive development experience, built-in UI inspector, widget explorer, and hot reload |
Community and Ecosystem | Large community, vast ecosystem of third-party libraries | Growing community, active and expanding ecosystem |
Integration with Native Features | Good integration with native modules through a bridge | Offers a comprehensive set of pre-designed widgets; platform channels may be needed for device-specific features |
Learning Curve | Easier for developers familiar with JavaScript and React | Steeper learning curve, especially for those not familiar with Dart; provides a more consistent and structured framework |
