QuickConnectFamily Hybrid uses the native web widget to display your app. These widgets support the modern
HTML 5,
CSS 3, and
JavaScript implementations. Want to make a hightly entertaining game? Try the
canvas tag. Include movies? The
video tag is what you want. Natively accelerated
animations and
transitions? CSS 3 does this for you. Want to
store data on the device? It's available through JavaScript.All of this without cross-browser worries since all supported mobile devices use WebKit technology for their web widget.
Want to do some background processing?
Web Workers can do that for you. Need connectivity with a server? Not only can you use
AJAX but you can open persistent
Sockets. Since
JSON is built directly in the web widgets you can send and recieve complex data easily using it or
XML.
Have you got a favorite
mobile JavaScript library? Use it! It is supported.
All of this and you still get to create an
installable application for the application stores.
