| =================== | ||
|
|
||
| PhoneGap is a web platform that exposes native mobile device apis and data to JavaScript. | ||
|
|
||
| ### PhoneGap has been accepted into the Apache Software Foundation for incubation as Apache Cordova, where it will remain free and open source. This will ensure open, independent stewardship of the project over the long term. | ||
|
|

| [http://incubator.apache.org/projects/callback.html](http://incubator.apache.org/projects/callback.html) | ||
| What is it? | ||
| ------------------- | ||
| Cordova is a web platform that exposes native mobile device apis and | ||
| data to JavaScript. Previously known as PhoneGap, the name changed | ||
| happened when PhoneGap was donated to the Apache foundation. | ||
|
|
||
| Currently Apache Cordova is an effort undergoing incubation at The | ||
| Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator | ||
| project. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a | ||
| further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and | ||
| decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with | ||
| other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not | ||
| necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, | ||
| it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the | ||
| ASF. | ||
|
|
||
| Why? | ||
| ------------------- | ||
| Mobile development is a mess. Building applications for each | ||
| device--iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and more--requires different | ||
| frameworks and languages. One day, the big players in mobile may decide | ||
| to work together and unify third-party app development processes. Until | ||
| then, Cordova will use standards-based web technologies to bridge web | ||
| applications and mobile devices. Plus, because Cordova apps are | ||
| standards compliant, they’re future-proofed to work with browsers as | ||
| they evolve. Cordova is an open source implementation of open | ||
| standards. That means developers and companies can use Cordova for | ||
| mobile applications that are free, commercial, open source, or any | ||
| combination of these. | ||
