Cordova has been the go-to framework for Hybird and HTML based application development ever since it was launched in 2011. It’s incredibly popular and for a very good reason.

The framework enables developers to use HTML, CSS, Javascript – technologies, and languages they use to build web applications, to build mobile applications. Hybrid applications can be understood as a web application made wrapped inside an application. That said, the application need not have any internet connection to open and run.

Cordova allows the same code can be compiled to work on Android, IOS, windows phone and numerous other operating systems. This is a good option to build apps on Cordova or any other frameworks built on top of Cordova as it saves much of the development time and resources required to develop and maintain multiple native apps. We have been using Cordova for any scenario that suits the Hybrid application paradigm. Our main secret of success in developing a successful application is in the years of experience of our developers, rigorously thorough attention to detail and huge amounts of testing.

The only downside of using Cordova is that the application should not be expected to perform processor-intensive tasks.

Cordova natively supports pretty much all the standard features used by native applications including notifications, storage and access to device sensors. And if a feature is not supported out of the box, there is a vast native plugin library that can extend the functionality of the framework.
