Using JavaScript and CSS to write true native-quality mobile applications is an appealing, but elusive, goal. The NativeScript mobile framework provides a uniquely-powerful solution that simplifies the web-to- mobile divide without compromising features, performance, or design. With NativeScript, you write your apps in standard JavaScript and CSS. However, rather than translating JavaScript into lookalike elements, NativeScript directly calls the native platform components, so that your apps look exactly as iOS and Android intended. You can directly manipulate the native APIs with your JavaScript code, and it's a snap to write custom plug-ins to extend the NativeScript feature set.
