Ionic Framework is an open-source cross-platform UI toolkit for building native-quality iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps from a single codebase using web technologies. It is built on Web Components and integrates with Angular, React, and Vue.

Use cases

• build a cross-platform mobile app with html css and javascript
• create a progressive web app from a single codebase
• build ios and android apps using angular react or vue
• make a native-looking mobile ui with web components
• ship one app to app stores and the web
• build a hybrid mobile app with capacitor

When to choose

• you want one codebase targeting ios, android, and web
• you prefer web technologies and frameworks like Angular, React, or Vue
• you need native-quality UI components and PWA support
• you want a mature, well-documented mobile toolkit with a large community

When to avoid

• you need maximum native performance for graphics-intensive games or apps
• you require deep access to platform-specific native APIs without a bridge layer
• you are building a purely native Swift/Kotlin app
• you need a very small bundle size for a simple website
