Overview
Cordova basically extends the features of HTML and JavaScript to work with the device. It could be said that Cordova works as a container for connecting our web app with native mobile functionalities. Cardova offers a bridge for connection between web apps and mobile devices; it is used when web applications are not able to use native mobile functionalities by default.
