This guide covers the various navigation components available in React Native. If you are just getting started with navigation, you will probably want to use [React Navigation](docs/navigation.html#react-navigation).
If you are only targeting iOS and would like to stick to the native look and feel, check out [NavigatorIOS](docs/navigation.html#navigatorios).
If you're targeting both iOS and Android, the following libraries provide native navigation on both platforms: [native-navigation](http://airbnb.io/native-navigation/), [react-native-navigation](https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation).
Each screen component can set navigation options such as the header title. It can use action creators on the `navigation` prop to link to other screens:
React Navigation routers make it easy to override navigation logic or integrate it into redux. Because routers can be nested inside each other, developers can override navigation logic for one area of the app without making widespread changes.
The views in React Navigation use native components and the [`Animated`](docs/animated.html) library to deliver 60fps animations that are run on the native thread. Plus, the animations and gestures can be easily customized.
For a complete intro to React Navigation, follow the [React Navigation Getting Started Guide](https://reactnavigation.org/docs/intro/), or browse other docs such as the [Intro to Navigators](https://reactnavigation.org/docs/navigators/).
If you are targeting iOS only, you may also want to consider using [`NavigatorIOS`](docs/navigatorios.html). It looks and feels just like [`UINavigationController`](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UINavigationController_Class/), because it is actually built on top of it.
Like other navigation systems, `NavigatorIOS` uses routes to represent screens, with some important differences. The actual component that will be rendered can be specified using the `component` key in the route, and any props that should be passed to this component can be specified in `passProps`. A "navigator" object is automatically passed as a prop to the component, allowing you to call `push` and `pop` as needed.
