The main purpose of Webpack is to work with JavaScript modules to create packages for a web browser. Webpack processes a modular JavaScript code and creates a JavaScript package to be used in a browser. In addition, it allows developers to use different assets (images, styles etc.) as modules too. In Ackee, we understand Webpack.

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces in JavaScript. It is almost fully separated from DOMu. In the year 2013, Facebook open-sourced React after some years of an internal testing. In Ackee, React is our favourite library.

React Native (or React for iOS and Android) is a framework for mobile applications written in JavaScript. It is an open-source project by Facebook from 2015 created after Reactive from the year 2013. It applies the architecture of its predecessor and its benefit is usability for the both mobile platforms. We use React Native in Ackee too but only if there is a use-case for it. Generally, we are not big fans of React Native.
