> This is for the upcoming v6.0.0 release of React Native Firebase, please use the [react-native-firebase](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-firebase) package instead, unless you're early adopting/testing the new packages - in which case please use the `latest` tagged patch-only release for this package.
The Firebase Realtime Database is a cloud-hosted database. Data is stored as JSON and synchronized in realtime to every connected client. When you build cross-platform apps with our React Native SDK, all of your clients share one Realtime Database instance and automatically receive updates with the newest data.
