Ionic

Frontend Web Framework

Ionic is an open-source UI toolkit for building cross-platform mobile, web and desktop applications with web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript or TypeScript. It supplies a set of pre-designed interface components and tools. It was created by Max Lynch, Ben Sperry and Adam Bradley of Drifty Co., with the original version released in 2013 on top of AngularJS and Apache Cordova. Ionic 4, from January 2019, rebuilt it as a set of Web Components using StencilJS, so developers can pair it with Angular, React, Vue.js or no framework at all. Apps reach native app stores through Cordova or Capacitor, and OutSystems acquired the company in November 2022.
