How mobile app development with React Native is different than web app development with ReactJS

I’m listing down set of categories that shows how mobile app development is different than web app development using react —  

Origin and Architecture: Both developed and open-sourced by Facebook Inc., React Native follows ReactJS’s basic architecture and promotes a component-based approach to building mobile screens. They share similar lifecycle methods.

UI Components: 

  • ReactJS: Uses HTML tags like div, span, etc. 
  • React Native: Uses components like View and Text from the React Native library. 

Platform and Browser Features: 

  • ReactJS: Built for web applications, allowing access to browser features like the window object and local storage. 
  • React Native: Built for native platforms, lacking access to browser-specific features. 

GitHub Projects: ReactJS and React Native are separate open-source projects on GitHub. 

Feature ImplementationNew component architecture features are first implemented in ReactJS and later added to React Native. 

Development ToolsBoth frameworks have different tools for getting started with development. 

Static Type Checking: 

  • React NativeComes with static type checking enabled by default. 
  • ReactJS: Requires additional steps to enable flow static type checking. 

The above list of differentiation make clear how react and react native are works and different.
