PhoneGap+react.js vs. NativeScript in Android hybrid development

Question

In our company, we tried to build hybrid APP development framework and used Cordova/Phonegap as base support. But this lead to serious performance problem. So we decided to make use of react.js to optimize front end performance. However, it works fine for iOS, but there's not too much improvement for Android. Why? Is react.js specific for iOS? And besides, if i turn to NativeScript, is it a better way to solve the performance problem? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Do you actually mean React.js or do you mean React Native? I'm going to assume React Native here.

React Native only exist of iOS as of time being. March 30, Vjeux of the React Native Team said .

When is React Native Android coming?
Give us 6 months.

NativeScript and React Native is quite similar in many ways and differs in a few. Compared to a web technology based solution you'll definitely see increased performance no matter what non-web-based technology you go for.
