    In scenarios where a frontend software is needed to be developed and it needs to have support for various third party modules like customisable tables for showing data and calendar, button elements etc and when support is needed in debugging issues with the software, AngularJS is recommended as it is heavily used by a number of people.

    It is suitable for making portable applications, with almost the same code for several platforms. You can access native features of the device or use an open source plug-in from the repository to create a local database and access the internal storage of the device. It is wonderful for the construction of a native application, through the use of standard web code. It is not recommended for enterprise applications.

    • Adobe Phone Gap has an extremely simple user interface that allows for easy learning to occur.
    • Adobe Phone Gap provides support for web languages and allows you to write in three of the main languages and transfer them to another language for use. This solves a common programming issue and is the greatest strength of the software.
    • Their desktop application allows for easy installation and programming.
    • Adobe provides quick support with questions about how to use the software.
    • The build interface notifies you of errors extremely quickly and helps identify the issue in your programming. You get an easy idea of what needs to be updated and adjusted.

    • Cordova app code runs inside a webview component. So, expect the performance to be a little slower as compared to the native apps. This is more noticeable on older devices though. It is hardly noticeable when it comes to newer mobile devices.
    • Crashes can be hard to debug since the crash logs will not point you to the culprit javascript code. This is not a limitation of Cordova alone. Any other hybrid mobile app development platform suffers the same problem.
    • Even with tools like Safari debugger and Chrome debugger, it can be tricky to measure graphics and animation performance. Achieving smooth animations can be a bit of a challenge sometimes with hybrid mobile apps in general.

    It is a great framework to build softwares with support for its features and vast number of courses to understand, learn and when stuck, debug the issues faced while developing. Many free of cost modules and third party libraries which one can download and use along with some paid ones with great support and resources to help build using those libraries.

    AngularJS is older and has more module/package support but is way heavier as compared to React while React is light weight and has concepts like virtual DOM to make the project light and save time from unnecessary reloading of the whole page. AngularJS is better when it comes to module and third party package support.

    Apache Cordova is the mother of all other frameworks. The Ionic developed framework is well suited for development but most of their features are offered by paid services. As Apache Cordova is open source and has a license to modify it, it has no legal problems to work with it. Also, most well-known IDEs recognize the Apache Cordova snippets.
