Ionic is a web framework for mobile devices. The framework is built on the framework of AngularJS. The difference with Angular is the specific application for mobile. Within Ionic, applications are built responsively using, among other things, CSS and HTML5. Like most mobile applications, these are distributed through the specific app stores.
The Ionic framework for mobile is suitable for all platforms. Windows, Android, and iOS versions are all developed through the Software Development Kit (SDK). The language within Ionic is the same as the one used within AngularJS, namely Javascript. This programming language is considered clear and efficient. The idea behind the Ionic framework is the same as AngularJS, all content is loaded on one page. The different elements are repeatedly requested in the code and loaded on the same page.
The mobile framework of Ionic is an Open Software download. The basic framework is available free of charge and can be installed instantly. Utilizing the free download, the SDK will be available for further development of the mobile application. This accessibility makes Ionic increasingly popular among (professional) developers.
