React Native pokreće JavaScript i nativni kod koji moraju komunicirati. Originalna arhitektura koristila je asinkroni bridge; nova arhitektura (JSI, TurboModuli, Fabric) omogućava bržu, sinkronu komunikaciju. Razumijevanje ovoga pojašnjava ponašanje i performanse React Native-a.
Originalna arhitektura: bridge
React Native runs:
→ a JS THREAD (your React/JS code) and the NATIVE side (UI, native modules)
→ they communicate over a BRIDGE: messages are SERIALIZED (to JSON), passed ASYNC,
and deserialized on the other side
Limitations:
✗ ASYNCHRONOUS only (can't call native synchronously)
✗ SERIALIZATION overhead; the bridge can be a BOTTLENECK with heavy traffic
✗ e.g. fast scrolling/animations passing data over the bridge → jank
