web and native apps for different reasons. React lets you build
both web apps and native apps using the same skills. It leans upon each
platform’s unique strengths to let your interfaces feel just right on every
platform.

####  Stay true to the web

People expect web app pages to load fast. On the server, React lets you start
streaming HTML while you’re still fetching data, progressively filling in the
remaining content before any JavaScript code loads. On the client, React can
use standard web APIs to keep your UI responsive even in the middle of
rendering.

####  Go truly native

People expect native apps to look and feel like their platform.  [ React
Native ](https://reactnative.dev) and  [ Expo ](https://github.com/expo/expo)
let you build apps in React for Android, iOS, and more. They look and feel
native because their UIs  _are_ truly native. It’s not a web view—your React
components render real Android and iOS views provided by the platform.

With React, you can be a web _and_ a native developer. Your team can ship to
many platforms without sacrificing the user experience. Your organization can
bridge the platform silos, and form teams that own entire features end-to-end.

##  Upgrade when the future is ready

React approaches changes with care. Every React commit is tested on business-
critical surfaces with over a billion users. Over 100,000 React components at
Meta help validate every migration strategy.

The React team is always researching how to improve React. Some research takes
years to pay off. React has a high bar for taking a research idea into
production. Only proven approaches become a part of React.
