What is a hybrid app and what are its features

Question

I have heard quite about hybrid apps, but don't know what they actually mean. So anyone please explain to me what is a hybrid app and what are its features?

Answer 1

Hello Tanmay, a Hybrid app is a program that is built using HTML 5, CSS and JavaScript and wrapped in native container. The native container loads maximum information on the page as soon as the user navigates the application. There are plenty of native web frameworks available like Cordova, PhoneGap or Ionic, which can help you build a hybrid app. The main features of a typical hybrid app are:

• Faster app development
• Simple and easy to maintain
• Cross platform UI
• Integrate with device file system
• Less expensive app development and cost effective maintenance
• Single code management for multiple mobile platforms
