Ionic

Ionic is a cross-platform framework that uses web technologies to build mobile, web, and desktop apps from a single codebase. Unlike fully native development, which requires separate projects for iOS and Android, Ionic lets you share most of your code across platforms while still accessing native device features via Capacitor.

Ionic works with popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue, but also supports plain JavaScript. You can choose the stack that best fits your team’s skills, and reuse existing front-end knowledge to build production-ready apps.

Yes. Through Capacitor, Ionic apps can securely access native features such as camera, geolocation, storage, push notifications, and more. Capacitor offers official plugins and a simple API, and you can write custom native plugins when needed.

Ionic is used in production by startups and large enterprises worldwide. It offers robust tooling, long-term support options, and enterprise features such as enhanced security, governance, and expert guidance to help teams ship and maintain mission-critical apps.

The core Ionic framework is open source and free to use under a permissive license. Advanced cloud services, enterprise support, and additional tooling may require paid plans; for the latest pricing details, check the official Ionic website.
