+## React Native
+
+Eta works out of the box with React Native! The library automatically uses a browser-compatible core build when bundled with Metro.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```tsx
+import { Eta } from "eta";
+
+const eta = new Eta();
+
+// Load templates as strings (e.g., from bundled assets or API)
+eta.loadTemplate("greeting", "Hello <%= it.name %>!");
+
+// Render using the template name prefixed with @
+const result = eta.render("@greeting", { name: "World" });
+console.log(result); // "Hello World!"
+```
+
+### Inline Template Rendering
+
+For simple use cases, you can render template strings directly:
+
+```tsx
+import { Eta } from "eta";
+
+const eta = new Eta();
+
+const result = eta.renderString("Hello <%= it.name %>!", { name: "React Native" });
+console.log(result); // "Hello React Native!"
+```
+
+### Requirements
+
+- React Native 0.72+ (Metro bundler with `exports` support)
+- For earlier versions, import from `eta/core` directly
+
+> **Note:** Since React Native doesn't have filesystem access, use `loadTemplate()` to register template strings (from bundled assets, AsyncStorage, or network requests) and render them by name prefixed with `@`.
