Development Benefits, and Security Risks, of HTML5 'Hybrid' Mobile Apps
|
| "Hybrid mobile apps are a way to finesse the debate over whether native apps, written in a given language for a specific OS, or web apps, written in HTML5, CSS and Javascript, are best. Developers use HTML, CSS and Javascript to write at least some of the app and those portions so written can be reused across devices. That promise of cross-platform reuse is one of the main appeal of HTML-based mobile apps, especially those using the still-emerging HTML5 standards." |
