NativeScript
Initially released in 2014, NativeScript is an open-source mobile application development framework. It enables the creation of Android and iOS mobile apps using JavaScript or languages that transpile to JavaScript, such as TypeScript, along with frameworks like Angular and Vue.js.
One of the key advantages of NativeScript is its ability to deliver high-performance and visually appealing user interfaces. Using the native UI components, NativeScript applications look and feel like native apps, providing a seamless user experience. Developers can leverage the full power of native APIs, including camera, GPS, accelerometer, and more, to create feature-rich applications.
NativeScript supports popular JavaScript frameworks like Angular and Vue.js, allowing developers to use their existing skills and frameworks to build mobile applications. This makes sharing code and resources between web and mobile projects easy. Additionally, NativeScript provides a rich set of plugins and extensions that extend the framework's capabilities, enabling developers to integrate with third-party libraries and services.
