## Hello World
In a traditional webpage, you could easily render `Hello World!` to the screen by writing some HTML like this:
```html
Test Page
Hello World!
```
In React Native, there is no DOM or browser, so you have to render things to the screen from a mobile API that React Native provides. For example, instead of using a `` tag as a wrapper for text like you would on the web, you would use ``; instead of `` container tags, you would use ``.
```js
import React, { Component } from ‘react’;
import { AppRegistry, View, Text } from ‘react-native’;
class App extends Component {
render () {
return (
Hello World!
);
}
}
AppRegistry.registerComponent(‘AwesomeProject’, () => App);
```
To render the code to the screen, instead of opening the page in a browser, you use a special `AppRegistry.registerComponent()` method provided by React Native to render the app to a mobile device.
