Meta's framework for building iOS and Android apps with React. Components render to real native views, and most logic is shared across both platforms.

Reach for it when:
- iOS and Android from one TypeScript codebase
- Teams that already write React

Worth knowing: React Native's own docs recommend starting new apps with a framework such as Expo rather than bare React Native.
