7. jQuery Mobile
It is a JavaScript library developed by the jQuery project
team and launched first in October 2010, as an initial
release, and then later in 2014, as a stable release.
Through jQuery, one can develop both web as well as
mobile applications that support different operating
systems like Windows, Mac, Firefox, etc.
The ‘mantra’ behind this framework is ‘do less, get more’,
which is why it can be run on every platform with only a
single code.

8. Ionic
Ionic has gained a lot of popularity among developers and is
being used to develop cross-platform web, desktop and
mobile applications.
Ionic apps are scalable and robust. Ionic also has an HTML5
element that aids in the development of hybrid applications.
Ionic simplifies implementation of push notifications, native
binaries, splash screens, and application icons.

9. Xamarin by Microsoft
The applications created with Xamarin can be run on
multiple platforms and supports operating systems like
Windows, iOS, and Android.
This framework also offers the benefit of code sharing,
where you can share your codes using Windows and Mac
operating systems.
Working with this framework to develop mobile
applications helps in saving cost and time.

10. Corona by
Corona Labs Inc.
Mobile applications developed by Corona can run across multiple platforms
and operating systems like iOS, Kindle, Android, Windows, etc.
This framework works very fast and is considered to be about 10 times faster
than all the other frameworks for mobile application development.
If you are in need of rapid development of mobile applications, without
compromising with the quality of the applications developed, then Corona is
the most suitable framework for you.

11. Apache Cordova
This framework is mostly used for developing hybrid
applications that are neither fully web-based nor completely
native.
The framework also provides a number of plugins that can
be used to increase its functionalities.
You can also access the device’s native APIs to develop
more efficient mobile applications.

12. Top 7 Frameworks
If you are looking for the right framework to start your
project, make sure to select only after careful
consideration.
This is because every project has different requirements,
so choose the framework that can help you meet your
specific needs.
