## What it is
NativeScript is an open-source framework for building truly native iOS, Android, and visionOS apps using TypeScript/JavaScript, with support for popular web frameworks like Angular, Vue, React, Solid, and Svelte. It includes a CLI for scaffolding, building, and running apps directly on devices or emulators while giving direct access to native APIs.

## Use cases
- build native ios and android apps with typescript
- cross-platform mobile app development from a single codebase
- access native device apis from javascript
- use angular or vue to build mobile apps
- develop visionos apps with javascript
- reuse web framework skills for native mobile development

## When to choose
- you want truly native UI and performance without writing Swift or Kotlin directly
- your team knows TypeScript and web frameworks like Angular, Vue, or React
- you need direct access to native platform APIs from JavaScript
- you target iOS, Android, and visionOS from one codebase

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple web app or website with no native requirements
- you prefer Flutter or React Native ecosystems with larger communities
- you need extensive third-party native plugin ecosystems beyond what NativeScript offers
- your team is committed to fully native Swift/Kotlin development
