Telerik Inc. is announcing that NativeScript with version number 1.2.0 is already available to download.
What is NativeScript ?
NativeScript is A JavaScript framework for building mobile applications that work just like native apps, supporting the Android and iOS platforms .
NativeScript lets developers use JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to render mobile applications.The platform is written in TypeScript and compiled to standards-compliant JavaScript.Under the hood, NativeScript renders an application’s UI without using WebView methods, meaning the native platform renders the interface and then will also handle all user interactions (UX).Unlike similar mobile JS frameworks that come with a limited collection of APIs, NativeScript also lets developers access native platform APIs when a feature is not supported by the framework’s core.This allows developers to build applications of the same level of complexity as native apps, not being limited by what the framework’s core can support.On top of this NativeScript also lets developers use pre-exisiting JavaScript libraries in their projects, along with Objective-C, Java, and .NET code as well.Overall, the framework is a very well designed product, working with Android and iOS, and also being future-proof against modifications that these platforms and their APIs might be subject to.
