React vs React Native

React Native uses the same component + hooks mental model but renders to native views (View, Text), not HTML. No className CSS; StyleSheet. You cannot paste a web <div> tree into RN. Some libraries are web-only.

React vs React Native — output — web tags vs native tags. You cannot paste <div> into React Native.

Exam tip

Same ideas, different host components.

Example

// React vs RN
console.log("React DOM : <div> <p> → browser");
console.log("RN        : <View> <Text> → phone");
console.log("hooks/state/props still apply");

React vs React Native — output: web tags vs native tags. You cannot paste <div> into React Native.

Short notes

  • Same : props, state, hooks.
  • Host : native views vs DOM.
  • Trappasting div/className into RN.
