## What it is
uni-app is a cross-platform framework from DCloud that uses Vue.js to build applications from a single codebase targeting iOS, Android, HarmonyOS, Web, and many Chinese mini-program platforms. The newer uni-app x generation compiles to native rendering on mobile platforms and uses the TypeScript-like UTS language for native plugin extensions.

## Use cases
- build a mobile app for ios and android from one vue codebase
- develop wechat mini programs with vue instead of vendor syntax
- compile one app to web, android, ios, and mini programs
- cross-platform app framework with native rendering performance
- develop harmonyos next apps using javascript and vue
- build h5 responsive web apps with a vue framework
- write native plugins in a typescript-like language that compiles to kotlin or swift

## When to choose
- you need to ship one codebase to many platforms, especially Chinese mini-programs
- your team already knows Vue.js and wants to target mobile and web
- you want near-native rendering performance with declarative Vue templates (uni-app x)
- you want an AI-friendly, declarative framework for app development

## When to avoid
- you need deep access to platform-specific native APIs not covered by plugins
- you are building a complex app targeting only a single native platform
- you rely on an ecosystem of native libraries outside the uni-app plugin market
- you prefer React or non-Vue tooling
