A hybrid app is a type of mobile application that combines elements of both native and web applications. Hybrid apps are developed using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and are then wrapped in a native container that allows them to be installed and run on mobile devices like native apps.
Hybrid apps offer advantages such as cross-platform compatibility and faster development cycles. Developers can write a single codebase that works on multiple platforms, reducing development time and costs. Well-known hybrid app frameworks include Apache Cordova and Ionic.
For example, a hybrid app for a news publication can deliver content to both iOS and Android users using a single codebase while providing a native-like user experience.
