According to Drifty, the company that develops and supports Ionic, over a million hybrid apps were developed with the help of their framework since its release in 2013.Ionic is an HTML5 SDK designed to be a base for hybrid mobile apps creation.

Angular embodies all of the best, proven over the years JavaScript development practices, which allow to:1) build applications with the exemplary architecture;2) evolve the application’s architecture in a controlled way, easily changing the developers on the fly, if needed, with much fewer risks as compared to custom unusual app structure;3) select the contractors out of the massive group of Angular developers and insert them into the development process smoothly and in the shortest possible term.Apache Cordova is the open-source framework, which is supported broadly by the biggest players in the industry.

Thanks to Cordova, common development tasks in Ionic are done in full accordance with the specific platforms’ guidelines, which, in turn, means that much less unusual techniques are used in the coding process, reducing chances for architectural mistakes, thus additionally facilitating the future evolution of the application.Ionic’s major development assets are focused on building user interfaces that look and feel like a native, and actually, have little differences with latter.

Ionic provides a considerable advantage for businesses, as it saves time and resources while building cross-platform apps with most of the benefits of the native ones.

When using Ionic, it is sometimes possible to release one application for both Android and iOS with the same resources as a native for a single operating system.

Simply put, it allows the creation of hybrid mobile apps while minimizing adaptation to a specific platform.Besides the benefits for business, it is worth mentioning the advantages seen by developers.1.
