-Every screen component in your app must be registered with a unique name. The component itself is a traditional React component extending `React.Component` or `React.PureComponent`. It can also be a HOC to provide context (or provide a redux store). Similar to ReactNative's `AppRegistry.registerComponent`.

-These are similar to react's `componentDidMount` and `componentWillUnmount`, but are related to the actual visibility of a component to the user. While the component is `mounted` as soon as it's part of a layout, it is not always `visible` (for example, when another screen is `pushed` on top of it), and therefore React Native Navigation takes some performance optimizations.
