## What it is
Onsen UI is an HTML5/JavaScript mobile app framework built on Web Components that provides a rich set of iOS and Android Material Design UI components with automatic platform styling. It ships framework bindings for Angular 1/2+, React, and Vue.js and is commonly used with Cordova/PhoneGap or as a PWA foundation.

## Use cases
- build cross-platform mobile apps with html5 and javascript
- create hybrid cordova apps with native look and feel
- develop mobile web apps with ios and material design styling
- use mobile ui components in react or vue apps
- build progressive web apps with native-like navigation
- share one codebase between android and ios apps

## When to choose
- you want a single HTML5 codebase targeting both iOS and Android with automatic platform styling
- you are building Cordova/PhoneGap hybrid apps or PWAs and need tuned mobile animations
- you use React, Vue, or Angular and want prebuilt mobile UI components

## When to avoid
- you need fully native performance or deep native API access
- you are building a desktop-first or purely web-admin application
- you want a framework with heavy recent development activity or broad current community momentum
