Create high-performance graphics with React Native Skia

Skia is a widely-used open-source 2D graphics library, sponsored by Google, that powers the graphics engine in major platforms like Google Chrome, Chrome OS, Android, and Flutter. React Native Skia, developed by Shopify, allows developers to integrate Skia into React Native applications, enabling the creation of sophisticated UI designs like Neumorphism and Glassmorphism through both declarative and imperative APIs. The library is currently in its alpha stage and must be installed directly from GitHub rather than npm. Developers can use Skia to render graphics in React Native by setting up the library in iOS and Android environments, utilizing the Native Development Kit for Android, and employing APIs that facilitate synchronous communication between JavaScript and native code. Skia offers advanced capabilities for rendering graphics, applying filters, and incorporating animation, which are expected to improve the performance of React Native applications by leveraging the new React Native architecture and renderer.
