## What it is
Tabris.js is a framework for building native mobile apps for iOS and Android from a single JavaScript or TypeScript codebase. It renders UI with real native widgets via a native bridge instead of webviews, and can be extended with Cordova plugins and npm modules.

## Use cases
- build native ios and android apps from one javascript codebase
- create mobile apps with native ui without writing swift or kotlin
- avoid webview-based hybrid app performance issues
- use typescript and jsx to develop cross-platform mobile apps
- extend a mobile app with native features via cordova plugins
- prototype mobile apps quickly using the tabris developer app

## When to choose
- you want truly native widgets and performance from a JavaScript/TypeScript codebase
- you target only iOS and Android and prefer web-style APIs like fetch, WebSockets, and localStorage
- you want to leverage existing Cordova plugins for native capabilities

## When to avoid
- you need to target desktop or the web in addition to mobile
- your team is already invested in React Native, Flutter, or native toolchains
- you need a large ecosystem of third-party native UI libraries
