FlatList in react-native and react-native-gesture-handler, what difference?

Question

What difference between:

import { FlatList } from "react-native";

and

import { FlatList } from "react-native-gesture-handler";

Answer 1

react-native-gesture-handler is more performant with gestures in comparison to react-native's, as they run on the native thread instead of the JS thread.

With react-native's gesture handler, JS handles the event and sends it through the bridge. react-native-gesture-handler will have the native thread directly handle the event.
