Ionic React, a significant development for the Ionic Framework, offers a native React version that simplifies creating apps for iOS, Android, Desktop, and the web as Progressive Web Apps using one code base and standard React development patterns. This shift opens Ionic Framework to a broader audience beyond its traditional Angular focus, aligning with the rising popularity of React and addressing the demand for Progressive Web Apps, which are less emphasized in the React Native ecosystem. Ionic React distinguishes itself by being DOM-native, leveraging the standard react-dom library, and offering developers a seamless experience using the extensive existing web ecosystem. Additionally, the introduction of Capacitor provides a modern cross-platform engine, improving upon previous experiences with Cordova by offering enhanced features and support for Progressive Web Apps. Ionic also presents enterprise-ready solutions with services and tools for teams needing more robust support than community options, paving the way for mission-critical app development.
