Cross-platform vs. native development
For years, native vs. cross-platform has been an apple of discord splitting the development community. Our dev team acknowledges cross-platform development as the best way to go for the enterprise, with the short time to market, code reusability, lower development costs, fewer technical obstacles, and consistent user experience.
Hence, we suggest you try Ionic for building your cross-platform application.
Why Ionic
Ionic is a framework for creating high-performant apps that run on any platform, whether it's web and mobile. Ionic's philosophy relies on "Write once, run anywhere" principles. The best thing about it is that it’s enough to have knowledge of HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and one of the front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue) to start development with Ionic. In other words, you can choose a framework you're the most skilled in and hit the ground running.
But what you can also do is use Ionic with vanilla JavaScript: Ionic is framework-agnostic, which makes it even more flexible to use.
The core benefits of Ionic for development are:
- The short time to market.
- Code reusability.
- Lower development costs (compared to native development).
- Fewer technical obstacles.
- Consistent user experience.
Other advantages of Ionic include:
- The development cycle is fast.
- No need to hire a separate team to build a cross-platform app: Angular, React, and Vue developers can manage the development.
- You can perform testing of an app right in the browser, no need for using resource-heavy emulators.
- Supported by an active community.
- Out-of-the-box UI elements are natively styled.
Why integrate Flexmonster with Ionic
We are sure that Ionic combined with Flexmonster is a perfect match. Why? The answer is simple. This is due to the perfect alignment of our philosophies.
Ionic treats performance seriously, aiming at making Ionic apps with the smallest footprint possible.
For our part, we are striving to make Flexmonster highly optimized, delivering the fine-tuned performance of data processing and visualization.
Ionic works well with any framework and vanilla JavaScript. And so does Flexmonster - it can integrate seamlessly with any web technology. Here’s the list of frameworks Flexmonster supports.
