The mobile app development is advancing at a fast phase with innovative technologies and cutting-edge tools and this leads to demand in the market more than ever. So advanced technology is required to develop applications rapidly and efficiently with minimum effort and resources.
As a developer, there are so many frameworks and platforms to choose in the market like react native, Flutter, and progressive web applications. Let us see which ones are popular and effective in the year 2020.
React Native
React Native is an open-source code that was introduced by Facebook, and it allows the developers to built exceptional mobile applications. Reactjs is one of the most popular and trusted frameworks to create the best solutions through web apps. This framework is very effortless to use and allows developers to create UI segments for JavaScript and works explicitly well for both android and iOS platforms. It provides multiple components to make the whole development process a lot easier.
Advantages
One of the main benefits of using react native is that the coding base is the same for both Android and iOS platforms, which leads to less time consumption and more productivity. It provides many components, and the work of the developer is less complicated. Other pros are reduced coding and increased speed due to various modules.
Disadvantages
The developers should spend time to master this framework accurately, and with regular daily updates, it becomes even challenging to keep up with all the new stuff. More efforts are needed from developers when it comes to the security parameter of the applications.
Flutter Framework
Flutter is the most commonly used framework among many mobile app development companies, and it is open-source code software introduced by Google. This Flutter framework uses the programming language dart instead of JavaScript, but it is easy for developers to understand because of the dart is very similar to java. So Flutter is a well-renowned and well-reputed framework that a lot of developers trust with their mobile and web applications.
Advantages
The Flutter can be used to develop several applications in different platforms like android and iOS without the use of much coding. The switching between various platforms is smooth and easy. Another main advantage is hot reloaders which are very helpful in any case of code changes or errors, and these reload the code within seconds without interruption.
Disadvantages
The Flutter framework is vast when compared to other structures available in the market, and it does not allow the users to see the web view as this feature is removed from the software but it was quite useful previously. It only has a single code dart for both android and iOS platforms.
PWA (Progressive Web Applications)
The progressive web application can be explained as the application that is made to build dynamic websites using various adaptable technologies and coding such as CSS, JavaScript, and HTML. A simple way to understand progressive web applications is to imagine that this is a web application but in a mobile application format. The native and hybrid applications are not bad; they have their own purposes but many developers opt for PWA because of its ability to develop flexible applications in any platform.
Advantages
PWA is one of the fastest frameworks and develops mobile applications quickly and efficiently with excellent performance. The applications developed using PWA is updated automatically and does not require any specific consent from the app stores for its launch. It can build applications which imitate the native and hybrid apps as well and are well compatible with any device.
Disadvantages
The major disadvantage of PWA is not able to implement any add-ons to applications like social media icons because they cannot retrieve the data when the user clicks the link. The most recent upgrades of technologies are not that compatible with the already existing applications.
In conclusion, choosing the best framework for your mobile application development totally depends on the business objectives and customer requirements. The best way is to analyze your business and discussion with the technical team to pick the right framework.
