What is Capacitor?​

Capacitor is a cross-platform native runtime for web apps which can build cross-platform Native Progressive Web Apps for iOS, Android, and the Web. ⚡️

When to use Capacitor?​

  1. You're looking for a quick way to build your on-going project as Hybrid App.
  2. You wanted to build Hybrid App but you're not using React.
  3. Your company has no resources to hire Native App Developer.
  4. Native App isn't your priority.

You can just pick your preferred framework such as React, Vue or others since Capacitor can be dropped in any of your existing web app project, convert your project to Hybrid App with no Framework limited.
