The expo package is a single package you can install in any React Native app to begin using Expo modules. API Reference.
expo-modules-core and expo-modules-autolinking.expo-asset.@expo/cli, a small CLI that provides a clean interface around both bundlers (such as Metro and Webpack) and native build tools (Xcode, Simulator.app, Android Studio, ADB, etc.), can generate native projects with npx expo prebuild, and aligns compatible package versions with npx expo install.expo-font and to function in Expo Go (optional, only if applicable).See CONTRIBUTING for instructions on working on this package.
React Native is a framework for building native apps using React. Unlike Expo, React Native requires more setup and configuration but offers more flexibility and control over the native code. It is suitable for developers who need to integrate custom native modules or require more advanced native functionalities.
Apache Cordova is a mobile application development framework that allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development. Compared to Expo, Cordova provides a different approach by wrapping web applications in a native container, which can be less performant than React Native-based solutions.
Flutter is a UI toolkit from Google for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Unlike Expo, which is based on React Native, Flutter uses the Dart programming language and provides a different set of tools and widgets for building applications.
