People also ask, what is the difference between PhoneGap Cordova and ionic?Ionic, Cordova and PhoneGap are hybrid apps. Cordova is a framework which runs a JavaScript app in a WebView that has additional native extensions, which is the definition of a hybrid app. Ionic is based on Cordova and comes with Angular. PhoneGap is a distribution of Cordova with a few custom packages and tweaks.Likewise, why is Cordova bad? The one real drawback of Cordova is that junior developers can create an app that performs poorly. It’s so easy to use that even rank beginners use it. Even experienced web developers can screw up the performance; good app developers need to be stronger developers than decent web developers. Similarly one may ask, should I use Cordova? Cordova is also good if your team is coming from web development background and core skills are html/css. This way, web developer can build the screens, without worry about too app native work. Cordova is also good if your app functionality can be achieved using out of the box features.Is PhoneGap still relevant?PhoneGap is still relevant as a quick and easy tool for creating a good mobile app. You write most of the code in Javascript but it compiles in native code, which basically gets you a native app, with minimum hassle. It enables developers to work in a PhoneGap-like environment but gain more out of it.
