What is the difference between React-Native-Windows and Electron?


I'm using React Native to build Mobile Application but I get a request to build on both windows and suggested use react-native-windows. I'm very confused because react-native-windows too low questions on StackOverflow and I know Electron is very popular for build desktop applications. How do I should use for build Desktop application?


Solution

  • Electron.js use chrome engine for rendering UI. and use actual html elements for UI.

    React-native-windows use native windows UI. so it's more performant and more light than electron.js

    Both of them are Javascript Frameworks.
