PhoneGap vs React Native Seed: What are the differences?
Developers describe PhoneGap as "Easilily create mobile apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript". PhoneGap is a web platform that exposes native mobile device apis and data to JavaScript. PhoneGap is a distribution of Apache Cordova. PhoneGap allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding each mobile platforms' native development language. Applications execute within wrappers targeted to each platform, and rely on standards-compliant API bindings to access each device's sensors, data, and network status. On the other hand, React Native Seed is detailed as "Get your favorite boilerplate of React Native". ReactNativeSeed.com provides you with a number of React Native Boilerplates to choose from. You can opt for MobX or Redux for state-management, TypeScript or Flow for static type checking and CRNA or plain React Native for the stack.
PhoneGap and React Native Seed can be primarily classified as "Cross-Platform Mobile Development" tools.
PhoneGap and React Native Seed are both open source tools. It seems that PhoneGap with 4.15K GitHub stars and 974 forks on GitHub has more adoption than React Native Seed with 577 GitHub stars and 8 GitHub forks.
