React Native vs Flutter: So Sánh Toàn Diện 2026

// TurboModule with JSI - synchronous native calls
import { TurboModuleRegistry } from 'react-native'

// Old bridge: asynchronous communication via JSON
// New architecture: direct C++ references via JSI
const DeviceModule = TurboModuleRegistry.get('DeviceInfo')

// Synchronous call without JSON serialization
const deviceInfo = DeviceModule.getDeviceInfo()
console.log(deviceInfo.model) // Instant access

// Fabric enables concurrent rendering
// Components render synchronously
// Eliminating complex animation jank

// Flutter draws every pixel via Impeller
