Native vs. Hybrid vs. Web Apps
Native apps are applications specifically designed for a particular operating system, such as iOS or Android. They are built using platform-specific languages like Swift for iOS and Kotlin or Java for Android, offering high performance and a seamless user experience.
In contrast, hybrid apps are developed using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and are wrapped in a native container that allows them to run on multiple platforms. This approach offers a balance between performance and ease of development since a single codebase can be used across different operating systems. Web apps, on the other hand, are not installed on the device but run in a web browser. They are essentially websites designed to look and feel like native apps. While web apps provide the advantage of being accessible from any device with a browser, they often lack the performance and functionality of native apps. Hybrid apps aim to bridge this gap by combining elements of both native and web apps, providing a more consistent user experience across platforms while reducing development time and costs.
