## RNFirebase vs Firebase Web SDK
RNFirebase is a _light-weight_ layer sitting on-top of the native Firebase libraries for both iOS and Android which mirrors the Firebase Web SDK as closely as possible.
Although the [Firebase Web SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase) library will work with React Native, it is built for the web.
RNFirebase provides a JavaScript bridge to the native Firebase SDKs for both iOS and Android. The Firebase processes will run on the native thread, allowing the rest of your app to run on the [JS thread](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/performance.html#javascript-frame-rate). The Firebase Web SDK also runs on the JS thread, therefore potentially affecting the frame rate causing jank with animations, touch events etc. All in, RNFirebase provides much faster performance (~2x) over the web SDK.
