title: What is the difference between Tomcat and Tomcat Native?
body: <p>The tomcat is a well-known Apache licensed web server. There are many stable versions. The one I have been using is Tomcat 8.
  Recently, a new NATIVE version is released as is quoted from the Apache website. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The Apache Tomcat is proud to announce the release of 1.2.24 of Tomcat Native.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Could someone explain what the difference is between Tomcat Native and Tomcat? Also, when we refer to a software framework as a NATIVE framework e.g. React Native, what do we really mean? </p>
