NativeScript is a free and open source framework for developing native iOS and Android apps. It's a framework that's been JIT-compiled. The JS virtual machine is used to run NativeScript programmes. It runs on both Android and iOS devices and uses the V8 engine runtime. NativeScript is built with XML, JS, and CSS. PlayGround is a web-based integrated development environment. This PlayGround provides a simple working interface, quick project management, hot reloading, and device debugging.
NativeScript enables developers to rapidly and easily construct native, cross-platform programmes while reducing development, testing, and training expenses. As a result, native applications will remain rich and powerful for many years to come, making them better and simpler to use.
Creating a mobile application is, in general, a difficult and time-consuming process. To create a mobile application, there are numerous frameworks to choose from. Android has a Java-based native framework, while iOS has an Objective-C/Shift-based native framework. However, we must write in two distinct languages and use two different frameworks to construct an application that supports both operating systems.
Mobile frameworks enable this capability to help overcome the complexity. The fundamental advantage of using a cross-platform or hybrid framework is the ease with which a single code base can be maintained. NativeScript, Apache Cordova, and Xamarin are examples of popular frameworks.
Who can use NativeScript?
Beginners who are interested in pursuing a career in mobile apps and want to become professionals can use and get to know NativeScript. It is an essential part of development and every Full Stack developer should know how to use it.

- Existing tools and code can be reused by developers.
- Newer versions are simple to alter, diagnose, and upgrade.
- We don't have to spend time learning new technologies because we have development experience.
- JavaScript platform-specific APIs, obviating the requirement to understand Cordova plugins
