A framework for building native applications that run on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android using a shared C# codebase and project system. Developers build cross-platform apps that integrate native platform capabilities and appearance.

Independently observed

React Native

Leader

React Native enables developers to write native iOS and Android apps using JavaScript and React, with UI rendering directly to native platform components. It provides a declarative API compiled to native code, supporting hot reloading during development and direct platform API access.
