Ionic is a mobile application framework that gives the look and feel of a native app, such Android and iOS apps. With the demand for apps that perform across platforms, Ionic tapped Apache Cordova and AngularJS to present hybrids that work across iOS, Android, and Windows. Written in HTML5, CSS and SASS, there were over four million apps built with it by April 2018. Ionic is open-source with a powerful codebase. It powers small and mid-sized apps from news services, search engines, fitness and life-style apps.

Technology

Ionic applications are written in Javascript via AngularJS and provide the full feature sets of the native mobile development software development kits (SDKs). Customized for Android or iOS, apps are deployed through Cordova. Ionic includes mobile components, typography, interactive paradigms, and an extensible base theme, focusing on the look and feel of the app. Ionic and native mobile app code are mixed in Cordova for performance. Using AngularJS enables Ionic to use native hardware acceleration, and Ionic’s use of CSS transitions and transforms together with the GPU instead of the CPU enhances performance.

Ionic supports live reload and ahead of time compiling, so the development will be as fast and efficient as possible.

Conclusion
Tried and loved, Ionic is endorsed by big names like Misko Hevery, the creator of Angular, and Hampton Catlin, the creator of SASS, and used by organizations like the Smithsonian, EA, CAT, and NASA. It contends for the top hybrid mobile application development framework. If you require your application to work on both major mobile platforms, Ionic may be your solution.
