Advantages of HTML5 applications and native applications

Creating a mobile app with HTML5 is great, but running more on mobile devices is still a native app and won't change much in a short period of time. The HTML5 app is a program that runs on a Web server and is typically run in a Web browser. Native apps are purchased from a paid purchase or downloaded from the relevant app store and run directly on the Android/ios device.

As a web developer, you've learned HTML, CSS, and Javascript, but you'll have to learn objective-c or Java to write native apps for iOS and Android.

To some extent, learning native programming languages is a barrier to many developers, compared to the lower threshold for web development language. Native application development costs are high and maintenance is difficult. This makes it a market, writing apps using HTML5, and then converting them to native apps, sounds good! Indeed, there are a lot of related conversion products, there are many enterprises and companies mobile clients is to use this way.

We cannot generalize and categorically deny either party. The biggest advantage of native applications is that it runs faster. HTML5 Application Benefits: Developing a HTML5 application that can run on a wide variety of device platforms is fairly straightforward. Summarize the advantages of HTML5 applications with native applications.

Benefits of native applications

• Offline access: Programs are stored locally, and most features are not required to be networked or used.

• Profitable sales: The App Store is easy to sell directly and makes a significant profit.

• Drawing performance Good: Although HTML5 has a sharp weapon--canvas, but with the native application is also very far away, and now canvas 3D drawing is not perfect.

• Access to device files and hardware: photos, contacts and other files, cameras, GPS and other hardware, has a great advantage.

• File upload and push notifications: the HTML5 API is not yet included.

       HTML5 application

• You don't have to be limited to apps: users need a single browser to access them from anywhere.

• Close to native applications: More and more HTML5 excellent applications are born, almost comparable to native applications, suitable for the user's habits.

• Flexible style: CSS Media query custom app style, flexible to adapt to different sizes of equipment.

• Performance is improving: More and more developers are learning how to run faster on Web pages, and these technologies are also applied to mobile HTML5 applications.

Combining HTML5 and native applications to develop hybrid applications is also a good choice. HTML5 's regulatory body has greatly facilitated the development of standards and the support of mobile browsers for HTML5 functions, but many performance issues remain unresolved. Mobile devices are evolving, and the web is changing rapidly. Desktop browser itself, there are 5 major browser developers in the improvement of existing standards, rich new features. So the native app is moving fast, and the web is narrowing the gap.
