title: React Native what exactly is the <> (empty) component
body: <p>In React Native you can encapsulate a set of components in one single <code>&lt;View&gt;</code> (or similar) component. You can also encapsulate a set of components as <code>&lt;&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/&gt;</code>. What are these? Do they just translate to an base View? It's probably not a good practice but it doesn't give a warning and it doesn't crash.</p>
