Overview

NativeScript is an open-source framework for building native iOS and Android apps using JavaScript or TypeScript. It allows developers to create performant apps that run on iOS and Android devices, and don't sacrifice the native user experience. By leveraging a single codebase, developers can craft cross-platform applications that access native APIs and components.

✨ Key Features

  • Build native apps with JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, or Vue.js
  • Direct access to native platform APIs
  • Code-sharing between web and mobile apps
  • Native UI and performance
  • Open-source and community-driven

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Direct access to native APIs without a bridge
  • Support for multiple JavaScript frameworks (Angular, Vue.js)
  • Code-sharing capabilities between web and mobile

Unique Value: Build truly native mobile apps with the web skills you already have, and get direct access to 100% of native platform APIs.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

✅ Best For

  • Enterprise apps
  • Consumer-facing apps
  • Apps that need to integrate with specific native features

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Apps with very simple UI requirements
  • Projects where the team is not familiar with JavaScript or related frameworks

🏆 Alternatives
