What's the different between React Native and ReactXP

ReactXP is pretty new, nothing much about it out there.

AFAIK

  1. Both ReactXP and React Native can build native mobile apps (iOS, Android).

  2. ReactXP is something build on top of ReactJS/React Native.

  3. Looks like the purpose of React Native and ReactXP are same -- building cross platform mobile apps.

Is it ReactXP just more Microsoft friendly?

The authors of React use the phrase “learn once, write anywhere”.

With React and React Native, your web app can share most its logic with your iOS and Android apps

Problem: the view layer needs to be implemented separately for each platform.

ReactXP(Solution): a thin cross-platform layer which can share your view definitions, styles and animations across multiple target platforms.

More: In general, it exposes APIs, components, props, styles and animation parameters that are implemented in a consistent way across React JS (HTML) and React Native for iOS and Android. A few platform-specific props and style attributes have been exposed, but we have tried to keep these to a minimum.

ReactXP is built using React and React Native, and the lifecycle methods remain the same across both platforms. The main difference between React Native is that ReactXP works out of the box with not only iOS and Android, but also on the web and on WindowsOS!
