  1. Top Databases for React NativeApp Development React Native is one of the most used frameworks when it comes to app development. It is a perfect solution forstartups as well as enterprise businesses to develop applications. Many companies have already leveraged React Native and have developed interactiveapplications. When talking about React Native app development, there are multiple things that go into it. One of the major and most important parts is the database. More complex the data, the more secure your database must be. In thisarticle, I will walk

  2. you through different factors one must consider while selectingadatabaseandwhichistheperfectsolutionforyour application. Factors to Consider While ChoosingDatabase: Line ofCodes: Line of codes defines other things you use for React Native App development. If you write less than 20 to 40 lines of code for simple CRUD operations then prefer not to use any advanced database. Because using advanced databases for small CRUD operations will make your coding more complicated. Handling Data Conflicts andConcurrency: More collaboration features means more possibilities of data conflicts. Look for databases that share the conflict handling policies on their website or repository pages. Learn more about database documents and become aware of how they handle data syncing and conflicts. This will help you decideon thecorrectdatabaseforyourapplication.

  3. MemoryManagement: Regardless of the database you use, you need to make sure that it has good memory management. Inefficient database memory handling can often lead to app crashes. If you think your database is not managing memory efficiently, you can do a compactionprocess. Compactionisaproactiveprocessformemorymanagementin which itdeletescertaindocumentsthatareofnouse.Thiswill empty some memory from the database and the appwill work better. This process is similar to the “Garbage Collection” part of programming which makes sure the memory is available to users. Complexity ofData: When working with server-side or client-side scripting languages, key-value or JSON structure is the default option forstorageinmostofthedatabases.ReactNativedeveloperor in-built library will serialize thestrings. Oftentimes serialization can cause serious halts and issues in application performance because of its limited resources. This is one of the major reasons behind companies using a databasethat

Hence, it is important to use databases that sync with your application when users connect with the internet. To do so, you also need to make sure that the offline database is secure asdata will bestoredonusers’phones. These are some of the major factors you need to consider when selecting the database. Understand your customer and appsrequirementsandthenmakethedecisionoffinalizingthe database. Going further, let’s talk about different databases you can use in your React Native appdevelopment: Realm: Realm is an object-oriented and open source database that is useful to develop iOS and Android applications. Realm databases gave birth to real-time and offline applications that run on mobile devices and wearable devices. It operates10

  5. times faster than relational databases and supports complicated data typestoo. • Realm also has its own database search engine which makesit easy to access any sources or threads. Developers prefer to use Realm databases to improve the performance of React Native applications by dealing with huge amounts of data.As it is a high-performing database, Realm has proven to fix the queries better and easily, compared to other databases. Realm is the best database choice for large-sized apps because of its open-sourcenatureandiseasytouse.Someofthebenefitsof using Realmare: • Itsynchronizesinthebackgroundandsavesusers’ interaction. • IthasagreatsetofAPIs. • It is an offline-friendlydatabase. • Usesdifferentencryptionstandardsfordifferentmobile devices.

  6. Firebase: • Google-based Firebase database has NoSQL and is a perfect database if your application is more into offline data updating and synchronization. It also manages MVC-based React Native applications that have high data requirements. Additionally, it even has a feature like tracking tools which helps you to find bugs in your application and remove if any. Additionally, it will even provide you full access to data removal from Google servers whenever you needit. • Following are some of the major benefits of the Firebase database: • Itcanaddressusers’rolethatwillhelpyoutofixcontrol onfiles. • YoucanintegrateFirebasewithanyapplication. • Itcachesdataondevicestoprovideusersofflineaccess to yoursoftware. • Itsynchronizesthedatafromdifferentplatforms.

  7. SQLite: • The main aim of SQLite was to offer users the capacity to make local storage databases for mobile devices. Lite stands for a lightweight database that needs minimal setup. SQLite executes SQL policies with extra tools which help you to manage data easily. The performance of the database is not great but developers can make necessary changes as it is open-source.FollowingarethekeybenefitsofusingSQLite: • Itsavesdatainacross-platformdatabasefile. • Youcanuseittostoreandsynchronizedataforoffline apps. • Being ACID-compliant it executes all SQLstandards. • PouchDB: • It is an open-source JavaScript database that preserves datain JSON format and enables CRUD operations via simple JS API. PouchDB allows apps to store data locally even when it is offline and syncs with compatible servers and CouchDB when the app connects with the internet. It keeps all users’ data synchronized as it is lightweight. It also helps to securedata

This system provides features like passwordstoringusingthelatestencryptionalgorithms. • FollowingaresomeofthemajoradvantagesofPouchDB: • Itsyncsdatawiththesupportedserver. • PouchDBisbuiltonCouchDBprotocolsandsupports offline and onlinecapacities. • ItsupportsSSL,whichmeansyoucanencryptdatausing the AES256 encryptiontechnique. • YoucaneasilyreplicatedatafromPouchDB. • WatermelonDB: • WatermelonDB was built with an aim to optimize React Native databases. It is developed on SQLite and works great with React Native databases. WatermelonDB can scale thousandsof records in a minute and can create complex apps. This database canhandle cached and multithreaded async functions. Following are some of the benefits of WatermelonDB:

  10. BerkeleyDB: It is an open-source, high-performance backend database for React Native which allows developers to handle data in multiple ways. It also offers an API for multiple languages which includes iOS and Android. BerkeleyDB can also handle data in multiple ways like SQLite. It uses Key-value pair data and also has a byte array and supports multiple data items for a singlekey. AsyncStorage: AsyncStorage is the asynchronous, unencrypted, key-value pair database used in React Native instead of LocalStorage. Persisting data in a mobile application has benefits like when the user restarts the app, the data or the setting variable is available to the user just the way they used before closing an app. WrappingUp: When starting with React Native app development, deciding on a database is the most vital thing as it includes users’ data. When deciding which database to use, take the above factors into account and also apps’ requirements. The database isthe

  11. most crucial part as it needs to handle all the complex operations and keep data secure, synchronized, and available offline.
