Expo
Expo is an open-source platform for building universal native apps that run on Android, iOS, and the web. It allows developers to write JavaScript/TypeScript code and deploy it to multiple platforms from a single codebase.
Key Features:
- Cross-Platform Development: Build apps for iOS, Android, and web using JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Expo Go: Quickly preview apps on physical devices without native builds.
- Managed Workflow: Expo handles native build configurations, simplifying the development process.
- Expo Application Services (EAS): Streamline build, submit, and update processes.
- Expo Router: File-based routing for navigation.
- SDK Modules: Access native device features with pre-built JavaScript APIs.
- Over-the-Air Updates: Push updates to users without resubmitting to app stores.
Use Cases:
- Rapid prototyping of mobile applications.
- Developing cross-platform apps with a single codebase.
- Simplifying the build and deployment process for React Native projects.
- Creating web applications with native-like functionality.
