Taro 是一个开放式跨端跨框架解决方案，支持使用 React/Vue/Nerv 等框架来开发 微信 / 京东 / 百度 / 支付宝 / 字节跳动 / QQ 小程序 / H5 / RN 等应用。 现如今市面上端的形态多种多样，Web、React Native、微信小程序等各种端大行其道。当业务要求同时在不同的端都要求有所表现的时候，针对不同的端去编写多套代码的成本显然非常高，这时候只编写一套代码就能够适配到多端的能力就显得极为需要。 Taro Playground，是使用 Taro React Native 开发的开源应用，支持开发调试 Taro React Native 应用，以及查看常用组件与 API。 项目完全开源，可参考源码快速开发 APP，源码地址：https://github.com/wuba/taro-playground。
