What is React Navigation and what are its top alternatives?

React Navigation is a popular routing and navigation library for React Native apps. It provides a simple way to handle navigation in mobile applications with features like stack navigation, tab navigation, drawer navigation, and more. However, React Navigation can sometimes be slow and bloated, especially in large applications.

  1. React Native Navigation: A fully native navigation library for React Native apps, offering smoother performance and a more native feel. Pros: High performance, native look and feel. Cons: Steeper learning curve.
  2. React Router Native: A popular routing library for web applications, now with a native version for React Native apps as well. Pros: Familiar API for web developers, great for cross-platform projects. Cons: Not as optimized for mobile performance.
  3. Native Navigation: A navigation library that leverages the native UIKit and Android APIs for better performance and seamless integration. Pros: Native performance, easy integration. Cons: Limited customization options.
  4. Expo Navigation: Navigation library provided by Expo, offering a simple and easy-to-use solution for navigating in React Native apps. Pros: Works seamlessly with Expo projects, beginner-friendly. Cons: Limited customization.
  5. React Native Navigation V1: An older version of the React Native Navigation library, known for its performance and ease of use. Pros: High performance, simple API. Cons: Not actively maintained, lacks some features of newer libraries.
  6. React Native Navigation V2: The latest version of the React Native Navigation library, offering improved performance and more features than V1. Pros: Performance improvements, modern features. Cons: Some breaking changes from V1.
  7. React Native Screens: A library focused on optimizing screen transitions and animations in React Native apps for better performance. Pros: Performance optimization, seamless animations. Cons: Limited to screen management.
  8. React Navigation Native: A native navigation solution for React Native using the library's own navigation components, optimized for performance. Pros: Seamless integration with React Navigation, good performance. Cons: Limited customization options.
  9. Rudderstack React Native Navigation: A navigation library designed specifically for integrating with Rudderstack analytics in React Native apps. Pros: Built-in analytics integration, easy setup. Cons: Limited to projects using Rudderstack.
  10. React Navigation Bottom Tabs: A specific navigation solution for implementing bottom tab navigation in React Native apps with a simple and customizable API. Pros: Easy setup for bottom tab navigation, customizable options. Cons: Limited to bottom tab navigation only.

    I'm planning to create a web application and also a mobile application to provide a very good shopping experience to the end customers. Shortly, my application will be aggregate the product details from difference sources and giving a clear picture to the user that when and where to buy that product with best in Quality and cost.

    I have planned to develop this in many milestones for adding N number of features and I have picked my first part to complete the core part (aggregate the product details from different sources).

    As per my work experience and knowledge, I have chosen the followings stacks to this mission.

    UI: I would like to develop this application using React, React Router and React Native since I'm a little bit familiar on this and also most importantly these will help on developing both web and mobile apps. In addition, I'm gonna use the stacks JavaScript, jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, Bootstrap wherever required.

    Service: I have planned to use Java as the main business layer language as I have 7+ years of experience on this I believe I can do better work using Java than other languages. In addition, I'm thinking to use the stacks Node.js.

    Database and ORM: I'm gonna pick MySQL as DB and Hibernate as ORM since I have a piece of good knowledge and also work experience on this combination.

    Search Engine: I need to deal with a large amount of product data and it's in-detailed info to provide enough details to end user at the same time I need to focus on the performance area too. so I have decided to use Solr as a search engine for product search and suggestions. In addition, I'm thinking to replace Solr by Elasticsearch once explored/reviewed enough about Elasticsearch.

    Host: As of now, my plan to complete the application with decent features first and deploy it in a free hosting environment like Docker and Heroku and then once it is stable then I have planned to use the AWS products Amazon S3, EC2, Amazon RDS and Amazon Route 53. I'm not sure about Microsoft Azure that what is the specialty in it than Heroku and Amazon EC2 Container Service. Anyhow, I will do explore these once again and pick the best suite one for my requirement once I reached this level.

    Build and Repositories: I have decided to choose Apache Maven and Git as these are my favorites and also so popular on respectively build and repositories.

    Additional Utilities :) - I would like to choose Codacy for code review as their Startup plan will be very helpful to this application. I'm already experienced with Google CheckStyle and SonarQube even I'm looking something on Codacy.

    Happy Coding! Suggestions are welcome! :)

    Thanks, Ganesa

    I just finished tweaking styles details of my hobby project MovieGeeks (https://moviegeeks.co/): The minimalist Online Movie Catalog

    This time I want to share my thoughts on the Tech-Stack I decided to use on the Frontend: React, React Router, Material-UI and React-Apollo:

    1. React is by far the Front-End "framework" with the biggest community. Some of the newest features like Suspense and Hooks makes it even more awesome and gives you even more power to write clean UI's

    2. Material UI is a very solid and stable set of react components that not only look good, but also are easy to use and customize. This was my first time using this library and I am very happy with the result

    3. React-Apollo in my opinion is the best GraphQL client for a React application. Easy to use and understand and it gives you awesome features out of the box like cache. With libraries like react-apollo-hooks you can even use it with the hooks api which makes the code cleaner and easier to follow.

    Any feedback is much appreciated :)

          Greetings everyone. I ran a design studio for 8 years in which we designed mobile and web apps. I also lead development teams when our client asked us to carry out the development of the projects. I always had an interest in learning to code to help me understand what is going on on the dev side and also build small apps as a hobby. I tried several times to get on a learning path, but challenges always put me down, so I quit after a couple of weeks. I tried JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Objective-C.

          Now I am retrying to teach myself Swift and especially SwiftUI for more than a month, and It's been going well so far. I want to build my own small apps, and I'm not focused on getting hired as a developer. I want to ask if it's the right language to start learning to program or should I learn something else first as a foundation. I'm currently taking a 100 days of code challenge and reading the Swift 5.3 PDF if I want to get more information on a specific topic. It feels like none of the stuff is sticking, but I'm not sure if it's the way it goes or my approach is wrong.

          I would appreciate any kind of guidance. Thanks

                        Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.

                        I currently use SimilarWeb to collect data (e.g. downloads, dau, engagement) of some Brazilian apps, to do market research with them (estimate market share of some industry, for instance)

                        I wonder if App Annie offers any significant upside vs SimilarWeb to reach this goal.

                        Also, in your opinion, how do the cost-benefit ratios of the 2 solutions compare?
