Performance and stability Comparison of React and Flutter: Cross-platform Application Development

Abstract

Application development is a very important aspect when it comes to business. From small-scale companies to Fortune Companies everyone has an application through which they are running their business whether it is a web-based application or Mobile Application. Now the Mobile market is majorly captured by two Operating systems Android and iOS. Initially, to develop an application for a single project for both Systems separately, companies need to hire separate developers. But ReactJs is a Cross-Platform Application development library and is used to create a frontend for applications. It is majorly used by Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. It is JavaScript Library. Now Google has also launched its pure cross-platform framework called Flutter. Flutter uses Dart programming language to run. An open-source framework created by Google in 2017 to create applications from a single codebase. This research paper presents the study and comparison of the two most famous cross-platform application development technologies. It starts by discussing the basic functions of the application development methodologies. Followed by, it contains a comparison of the performance of the applications developed by these technologies. After that Stability of applications made by the flutter and React Native is checked on different parameters. There is an implementation of an application using Flutter and React Native which will be used for performance analysis between two applications running Android and Web platforms
