-            All operations between the JavaScript application code and the native platform are performed asynchronously, and the native modules can also make use of additional threads as well.  This means we can decode images off of the main thread, save to disk in the background, measure text and compute layouts without blocking the UI, and more.  As a result, React Native apps are naturally fluid and responsive.  The communication is also fully serializable, which allows us to leverage Chrome Developer Tools to debug JS while running the app in the full app environment, in the sim or on a real device.

React Native implements a similar responder system and provides high level components such as TouchableHighlight that integrate properly with scroll views and other elements without any additional configutation.

React Native also supports common web syles, such as fontWeight, and the StyleSheet abstraction makes it easy to declare all your styles and layout right along with the components that use them and used inline.

+            It is certainly possible to create a great app using React Native without writing a single line of native code, but React Native is also designed to be easily expended with custom native views and modules - that means you can reuse anything you{"'"}ve already built, and can import and use your favorite native libraries.  To create a simple module in iOS, create a new class that implements the RCTBridgeModule protocol, and add RCT_EXPORT to the function you want to make available in JavaScript.
