Native, Hybrid or Mobile Web Application Development - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Functionality: Native apps have direct access to all a mobile device’s
        
        features including ones that are unique to the platform. These include
        
        graphics hardware, motion, location, proximity, visual and audio sensors.
    - - Since they run directly on the platform without intermediary
        
        containers or abstraction layers, native applications run with the highest
        
        performance possible.
    - - .
        
        The ability to directly access UI components of specific
        
        platforms means that apps can seamlessly blend with the operating
        
        environment.
- - - - Web-based apps overall have the lowest costs
        
        among the three approaches, which helps explain their
        
        growing popularity within enterprise mobile strategies.
    - - Although libraries for web-based apps
        
        are able to access many mobile device hardware
        
        capabilities, this is done via abstraction layers that must
        
        necessarily take an LCD approach to these capabilities.
    - - Because web-based mobile apps must
        
        code through abstraction layers and execute a step
        
        removed from the actual hardware and OS, their
        
        performance can never approach that of a native
        
        app.
- - - - Depending on how a hybrid mobile app is partitioned, there
        
        is no reason that it cannot approach the functionality in terms of platform
        
        feature access and on-platform device access that native apps enjoy.
    - - A hybrid app can match the performance of native apps for
        the portion of the app that runs natively, especially in offline mode.
    - - the ability
        
        to create a fully functional, seamless UI/UX depends on how these
        
        characteristics are partitioned between the native and web-based portions
        
        of the app.
    - - Costs are more or less midway between those for native and web-
        
        based apps. Where the actual costs lie depends on the balance between
        
        native and web-based development efforts and the effort to merge the
        
        two.
