What is "apache-cordova"
The Apache Cordova is a platform open source mobile development Apis that allow the developer to access native device functions, such as camera or accelerometer. Development with Cordova is done using HTML, CSS and Javascript. The application runs on the device and can access the device’s native functions such as GPS, camera, sensors, data, network status, etc.
When developing using Apache Cordova, a hybrid application is created, where your code can be compiled for various platforms such as Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc; and all Apis for accessing device functions are installed in the application itself.
