Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding native development languages like Objective-C and Java. Cordova wraps the HTML and JavaScript code into a native container which can access the device functions of many platforms.
