## What it is
Microsoft's extension of React Native that lets developers build native Windows applications using JavaScript and React. It targets Windows 10+ devices including PCs, tablets, Xbox, and mixed reality, with a new Fabric renderer built on WinAppSDK/Composition.

## Use cases
- build native windows apps with react
- target xbox with react native
- share react native code across ios android and windows
- build winui apps in javascript
- port react native app to windows

## When to choose
- your team already knows React Native and needs Windows support
- you want one codebase across mobile and Windows devices including Xbox

## When to avoid
- you need a pure .NET/C# codebase without JavaScript
- you only target Windows with no React Native investment

- function: mobile-framework, frontend-framework, ui-components
