## What it is
A Cordova/PhoneGap plugin that exposes the native mobile sharing widget so apps can share text, URLs, and files (images, PDFs, etc.) on iOS and Android. It also supports sharing directly to specific apps like Twitter or Facebook, bypassing the share dialog.

## Use cases
- share text and links from a cordova app via the native share sheet
- share an image or pdf file to other apps on ios and android
- share directly to twitter or facebook from a phonegap app
- add social sharing to an ionic app
- share files from the www folder or local filesystem
- open the native share popover on ipad

## When to choose
- you're building a Cordova, PhoneGap, or Ionic hybrid app and need native sharing
- you want to share text, URLs, and files through the OS share sheet without writing native code
- you need to target specific apps like Twitter or Facebook directly

## When to avoid
- you're building a fully native app (use native share APIs instead)
- you're building a web-only app (use the Web Share API)
- you need a plugin under active development - releases are infrequent
