3. Let’s start with
these 4 great
open source
tools launched
with mobile
development
in mind.
4. React Native
React Native is a framework which helps mobile developers to build fabulous iOS application and
Android user interface with no browser/WebView involved. Large group of mobile developers today
would love to use React since it enables them to spend more time focusing on their actual products
instead to fighting with their framework. You can get more information about React Native on
Facebook’s Engineering Blog.
5. ComponentKit
When building user interface for iOS requires lots of imperative code and as a developer, you need to start first from
creating views, configure them and add them to the hierarchy which can be a tedious and error prone.
Fortunately, to handle this challenge, Facebook has built a native, Objective-C++ library named ComponentKit which is
highly inspired by React. It takes a functional, declarative approach to creating UI interface. It lets you focus on what
your UI should look like rather than focusing on the steps necessary to build it. Read more about ComponentKit here.
6. Year Class and Connection Class
Year Class and Connection Class helps mobile developers to prudently segment based on device and
network in real time. By using these two assets you have ability to adjust featured performance in real
time and analyze how different interactions are network- or device-bound for performance. Details
about each of these two are available on Code.
7. Fresco
Fresco is an open source tool for displaying images in Android applications. As it takes complete control of image
loading and display you don’t need to worry about.
