What are the differences between gesture handlers and touchable components?

What are the differences between gesture handlers and touchable components in React Native?

Gesture handlers provide more control and flexibility for handling gestures, while touchable components are simpler and easier to use.

Can you give me an example of when to use gesture handlers?

Use gesture handlers when you need to recognize complex gestures like swipes or pinches, which touchable components can't handle.

Are there performance differences between the two?

Yes, gesture handlers are generally more performant for complex gestures, as they are optimized for handling touch events.

What about accessibility? Are both options accessible?

Both options can be made accessible, but touchable components have built-in accessibility features, making them easier to implement.

Which one should I use for a simple button?

For a simple button, touchable components are usually sufficient and easier to implement.
