An Apache Cordova plugin that opens an in-app browser window, letting users view web pages, articles, and videos without leaving the app. It provides a JavaScript API (cordova.InAppBrowser.open()) with options for controlling the browser view across Android, iOS, and browser platforms.
Use cases
- show web content inside a mobile app without leaving it
- open external links in an in-app browser view
- implement oauth login flows in a cordova app
- display help articles or videos within a hybrid mobile app
- load a url in a webview with custom toolbar options
When to choose
- you are building a Cordova hybrid mobile app and need to display external web content
- you need oauth or third-party web flows that stay inside the app
- you want cross-platform (Android/iOS/browser) in-app browsing with one API
When to avoid
- you are building a fully native app without Cordova
- you need a full embedded browser engine with advanced scripting control
- your project uses Capacitor, which has its own browser plugin
