Preface

React and JSX are familiar


Implementing a new render target for React isn't straightforward. It's essentially the same thing as inventing a new DOM that runs on iOS and Android. So why go through all the trouble?

First, there's a huge demand for mobile apps in general. The reason is that the mobile web browser user experience isn't as good. I'll elaborate on this in the next section. Second, JSX is simply awesome for building user interfaces. Rather than having to learn a new technology, it's much easier to use what you know.

It's the latter point that's the most relevant to you, the reader. If you're reading this book, you're probably interested in using React for both web applications, and native mobile applications. I simply can't put into words how valuable React is from a development resource perspective. Instead of having a team that does web UIs, a team that does iOS, a team that does Android, and so on, there's just the UI team that understands React. Easy peasy!
