NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

We've been debating the merits of cross-platform mobile development tools for nearly as long as we've been publishing the Technology Radar. We first noted a new generation of tools in 2011 when blipping about cross-mobile platforms. Although we were skeptical of them at first, these tools have been perfected and widely adopted over the years. And nobody can debate the enduring popularity and usefulness of React Native. Capacitor is the latest generation of a line of tools starting with PhoneGap, then renamed to Apache Cordova. Capacitor is a complete rewrite from Ionic that embraces the progressive web app style for stand-alone applications. So far, our developers like that they can address web, iOS and Android applications with a single code base and that they can manage the native platforms separately with access to the native APIs when necessary. Capacitor offers an alternative to React Native, which has many years of cross-platform experience behind it.
