Xamarin vs Felgo: What are the differences?
Developers describe Xamarin as "Create iOS, Android and Mac apps in C#". Xamarin’s Mono-based products enable .NET developers to use their existing code, libraries and tools (including Visual Studio), as well as skills in .NET and the C# programming language, to create mobile applications for the industry’s most widely-used mobile devices, including Android-based smartphones and tablets, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. On the other hand, *Felgo** is detailed as "Allows you to create mobile apps & games for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Desktop (Windows, Mac and Linux) within days". It is a cross-platform development tool, based on the Qt framework. It can be used to create mobile apps or games. Felgo apps and games are supported on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, embedded devices and desktop devices.
Xamarin and Felgo can be categorized as "Cross-Platform Mobile Development" tools.
Some of the features offered by Xamarin are:
- Cross-platform development- Thinking about supporting iOS, Android, Mac and Windows? Xamarin allows you to write it all in C#.
- Reuse existing code- Use your favorite .NET libraries in Xamarin apps. Easily use third-party native libraries and frameworks.
- Discover as you type- Explore APIs as you type with code autocompletion.
On the other hand, Felgo provides the following key features:
- Access Controls/Permissions
- Code Refactoring
- Collaboration Tools
