## What it is
A JavaScript library providing a shared set of primitive React interfaces (View, Text, Image, Touchable, StyleSheet, Animated) that work across web, React Native, Sketch, Figma, VR, and Windows targets. It lets developers write platform-agnostic React components without touching platform-specific APIs.

## Use cases
- write react components that run on web and native
- share ui components between react and react native
- build cross-platform design systems with react
- render react components to sketch or figma
- use react native stylesheet api on the web
- avoid platform-specific apis in shared components

## When to choose
- you maintain a component library targeting both web and react native
- you want a thin universal primitive layer over react-native-web and react-native
- you render react components to design tools like sketch or figma

## When to avoid
- you need a full cross-platform app framework with navigation and platform apis
- you only target a single platform
- you need modern actively developed alternatives like tamagui or nativewind

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation, state-management
- domain: cross-platform, frontend, web-development, mobile-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, react-native, react-native-web, universal-components, stylesheet, sketch, figma, web-server, nodejs, mobile
