Thinking about the technology selection of small program development and answering questions: Is it better to use uniapp or WeChat native small program?
The choice of using uni-app or the native development of WeChat applets mainly depends on the following factors:
1. Cross-platform requirements: If you need to develop a cross-platform application (for example, you need to publish your applet on multiple platforms such as WeChat, Alipay, Baidu, or H5), then using uni-app may will be better. uni-app allows you to use a set of codes to develop applets for multiple platforms, which will greatly improve development efficiency. If there is no cross-platform requirement, you can consider the native development of WeChat applets.
2. Development complexity: If what you need to develop is a small program with complex functions that requires in-depth calls to WeChat API, it may be better to use WeChat native development. WeChat native development can provide more powerful and in-depth WeChat API calling capabilities.
3. Development resources: If your development team is familiar with Vue.js or other front-end frameworks supported by uni-app, then using uni-app may make the development work smoother. If your team is more familiar with the native development method of WeChat, it may be more suitable to use WeChat native development.
4. Learning curve: If you are a novice developer, then WeChat native development may be easier to get started, because WeChat provides a lot of tutorials and documents. However, if you are already familiar with Vue.js or other front-end frameworks, it may be faster to learn uni-app.
5. Maintenance and update: If your applet needs to be updated or maintained frequently, it may be more convenient to use uni-app, because you only need to maintain one set of code. However, if your Mini Program only runs on the WeChat platform, it may be more convenient to use WeChat native development, because you can directly use the latest APIs and functions provided by WeChat.
In general, both uni-app and WeChat native development have their own advantages, and you need to choose the most suitable development method according to your specific needs and conditions.
