From the experiment

Do coding agents recommend react-native-maps?

react-native-maps was chosen in 6% of 319 judged maps sessions, ranking sixth. Measured with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

Published September 11, 2026 Read as Markdown

react-native-maps was chosen in 6% of 319 judged maps sessions, ranking sixth. It was also raised as a candidate in 6 further sessions without being chosen.

This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in maps inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about react-native-maps. What an agent actually installed.

One thing to read first: every one of those wins came from a single codebase. That is a result about one repository rather than about maps in general, and the splits below cannot separate the two. Treat them as a description of that repository.

By agent

With 19 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established.

By who was asking

react-native-maps performs similarly across the four kinds of buyer, from 0% to 13%. That is unusual: the category leader changed with the persona in 19 of the 23 categories we measured.

What this means

Agents almost never raise react-native-maps without choosing it: 6 sessions raised against 19 chosen. When it gets considered, it usually wins. The constraint is how rarely it gets considered at all, which is a presence problem: templates, framework integrations and pages that answer the configuration and production questions agents actually search for.

Where these numbers come from

The 319 sessions in maps are part of a published set of 6,458, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: how we measured this.

Every maps run can be replayed on the board.

If you work on react-native-maps: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

Common questions

Do coding agents recommend react-native-maps?

Yes. react-native-maps was chosen in 19 of the 319 judged sessions in maps, a 6% install share, ranking sixth in its category.

Does Claude Code recommend react-native-maps?

In 8 of the 108 sessions in maps run with Claude Code, which is 7%.

Do different coding agents treat react-native-maps differently?

Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 4% and 7% of their runs.

How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 63 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.

How often is react-native-maps considered but not chosen?

It was raised as a candidate in 6 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 19. That is a 76% conversion from considered to chosen.

Where this comes from

Armature ran 6,458 judged sessions with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor inside 63 realistic codebases, and published every run. The numbers on this page come from that work.
