NativeScript is a cross-platform app development framework for rapid app development with its write once and run anywhere model for designing native apps. It uses JavaScript, XML and CSS and the NativeScript APIs are translated into native platform APIs at runtime. It can also be used with latest Swift or Java technologies using Typescript or AngularJS. We discuss top 3 factors that make NativeScript the ideal framework for cross-platform app development.
1. Empower the app with JavaScript
NativeScript uses JavaScript for building mobile applications saving cost and time for developers. The platform uses pure JavaScript language to build native applications for major mobile platforms including Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, and Windows Universal. The full native API access is provided by using JavaScript while the application’s UI stack is built on the native platform. Thus, the user experience in uncompromised. With the release of iOS Swift, Apple is also seen to be migrating towards JavaScript framework for app development. Of course, Apple is also aiming towards making Swift a cross-platform development platform, but NativeScript developers benefit from the new move.
