Hybrid apps are essentially small websites running in a browser shell in an app that has access to the native platform layer. Hybrid apps have many benefits over pure native apps, specifically in terms of platform support, the peed of development, and access to 3rd party code. The ionic framework enables you to build mobile user interfaces with native look and feel which are very similar to the natively built Android and iOS apps. So, let’s have look at how can you build the mobile app with Ionic.

Ionic framework is a HTML5 mobile application development framework focused at building cross platform mobile applications. Hybrid applications are basically little sites running in a program shell in an application that approach the local stage layer.
