React Native is a popular method for creating semi-native, JavaScript-based iOS and Android apps, based on the very popular React library.
There's no one standard routing/navigation library in the community. As that's quite an important part of almost every app, a new high quality solution is something that any React Native dev would be interested in.
I'm sure you know who AirBnB are. They've spent the last year (?) building part of their mobile apps with React Native, and this is their home-grown navigation library.
Now, most React Native components (including navigation libraries) are built almost entirely in JavaScript, but this one is one of a few which "bridge" the native iOS and Android APIs, potentially resulting in a more natural and familiar feel.
There's one other semi-native nav option out there, Wix's React Native Navigation[1

]. I've not personally tried either of them, but it's nice to have choices.
There are lots of JavaScript-based routing systems out there. React Navigation[2] is the closest we've got to an officially sanctioned package in a while, being the successor to two very popular libraries (Facebook's own NavigationExperimental[3] and Exponents Ex-Navigation[4]).
There's also React Native Router Flux[5], which is quite popular, and the very popular React Router[6] has support for React Native in their recently released v4.
As you can see, there are quite a few options available, and there are even more if you want to delve deeper[7]
