HTML5 App Overview
HTML5 Apps run inside a Browser
and cannot make use of many
things that Mobile OS provides, like
File System, SQLLite Database,
Network APIs, Camera, Contacts
etc.

A few APIs are exposed to browser
JavaScripts like GeoLocation, very
limited local storage, and more.

only when a user starts
them; no native-like
background processing is
available.

Final Comparison
Native
•
•
•
•
Needs Richest UI
Focuses on Single
Platform (Mobile is
the main platform)
Can be used to
build Authoring
tools, Games,
Social Networking
Apps etc.
Very Concerned
with UX (Apple-like
Quality)

HTML 5
•
•
•
Needs rich
Mobile users with
minimal cost and
effort
App Store
Marketing and
Monetization are
not important
Required as a
fallback for social
e.g, Twitter still
has a mobile web
site
Hybrid
•
•
•
•
Needs Rich UI
Focuses on
Multiple
Platforms
Can be used
to build
Enterprise
Apps,
Travel/News
Apps, Sync
Clients, etc.
Most of the
time will
suffice your
needs
