React Native Overview

React Native is an open-sourced JavaScript framework you can use to build apps on multiple platforms. Vega apps are built on the React Native framework, allowing you to write a native Vega app and run it on multiple Amazon devices. The Vega SDK supports many React Native v83 APIs. The folders in this section reference the supported React Native APIs, which you can use just as you would with a JavaScript application.
