Would you like to add your framework to the comparison chart? There are only 3 easy steps to follow:
- Download and fill out the JSON-file.
- Host and update it as you develop your framework.
- Send me back (mail@markus-falk.com) an URL to the JSON-file.
How it works
The JSON-File
The json file is divided into 7 sections: Plattform, Target, Terms of a License, Development Languages, Hardware, User Interface and Other.
Each of these sections contains several attributes that describe your framework. A full list of all attributes can be seen within the JSON-file. Further Descriptions for all possible attributes can be found in a tooltip ('?') in the head section of the frameworks table.
Sections
- Platform: What platforms are supported by your framework?
- Target: What kind of app can be developed with your framework. Is the output a mobile website, a web app, a native app or a hybrid app.
- Terms of a Licens: Is your framework open source and/or free?
- Development Languages: What development languages are used in order to create an app with your framework?
- Hardware: What hardware features can be accessed or are aided through your framework? E.g.: is it possible to access the device's camera and take pictures?
- User Interface: Does your framework support certain features that aid the creation of a mobile interface?
- Other: This section contains any other attribute that might be added but doesn't fit into the first six sections.
Values
Possible values for those attributes are:
- true: your framework supports this attribute (platform, hardware feature, ...).
- false: your framework does NOT support this attribute (platform, hardware feature, ...).
- partially: your framework supports a certain attribute only partially. E.g.: it is true that your framework supports access to information about the current network but maybe only for wlan and not about 3G.
- via: your framework supports a certain attribute but only via plugin.
- soon: your framework does not support this attribute but it is already on your roadmap and will be implemented soon.
- none: you cannot provide any information about this attribute or a certain attribute is not applicable.
More ...
There are a few attributes that are not yet used by the chart but could be in the near future:
- framework_current_version: this is the current version of your framework.
- comparison_data_last_update: the date of the last update for the comparison chart (MM.DD.YYYY)
