Apache Coredova is a platform to build native mobile applications using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. This was formerly called as Phone Gap platform. Apache Cordova is basically a set of device APIst that allow a mobile developer to access native device function such as the camera or accelerometer from javascript. Combined with UI framework such as JQuery Mobile or Dojo mobile or Sensa Touch, this allows a smartphone app to be developed with just HTML, CSS and Javascript.
Because of the Javascript APIs are consistent across multiple device platforms and built on web standards, the app should be portable to other device platforms with minimal to no changes.
The cordova platform currently is available to iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Palm WebOS, Bada and Symbian. A developer can also write own plugins with Coredova There is also a registry of third party plugins available.
