I'm using React Native to build Mobile Application but I get a request to build on both windows and suggested use react-native-windows. I'm very confused because react-native-windows too low questions on StackOverflow and I know Electron is very popular for build desktop applications. How do I should use for build Desktop application?

Electron.js use chrome engine for rendering UI. and use actual html elements for UI.

React-native-windows use native windows UI. so it's more performant and more light than electron.js

Both of them are Javascript Frameworks.

react-native-windows is Microsoft's framework for building native Windows apps.

Electron is a framework for building cross-platform desktop apps (Chromium WebView + Node.js).
