How it works: Serialization: JavaScript converts actions or data into JSON strings. Asynchronous Transport: The JSON payload is sent asynchronously across the bridge. Deserialization: The native side decodes the JSON and executes the requested platform action (e.g., rendering a view or accessing hardware). When is a Native Bridge Required?
