Introduction to List View

React Native provides the ScrollView component for displaying data that can be scrolled vertically and horizontally. However, this comes at the cost of performance because the ScrollView renders all of its child components at once, even if they are not visible on the screen. This is where the list view components come in. They do not render all the components at once. Instead, the components are rendered as they appear on the screen.

There are two types of list views in React Native. Let’s briefly summarize each type of list view component of React Native before we learn about each one in detail.
