React Native size units of measurement

In react native when setting sizes (width, fontSize, etc) are we using pixels or another unit of measurement (%, em, rm)? Additionally, what sizing units are permitted?

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/height-and-width.html:

"All dimensions in React Native are unitless, and represent density-independent pixels." While it doesn't say so explicitly, it seems equivalent to Android's dp measure.

[changed category to JS because that's the category of the React Native course.]
