Hermes Engine is a JavaScript engine optimized for running React Native applications on Android. Developed by Facebook, Hermes aims to improve app startup time, decrease memory usage, and reduce bundle size. It achieves these optimizations by precompiling JavaScript code during the build process, enabling faster execution on the device. Hermes is particularly beneficial for resource-constrained devices and can significantly enhance the overall performance of React Native apps on Android.

Compared to the default JavaScript engine used in React Native, Hermes offers superior performance metrics, making it a preferred choice for developers looking to enhance the user experience of their Android applications.
