Cordova alignment
Goal
Aligning APIs used in the official Cordova plugins with their equivalent APIs standardized in W3C.
Brief explanation
Cordova is an hybrid application development framework: it allows developers to write a single code base in HTML and JavaScript and compile it into native applications on a variety of native platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, etc).
One of the stated goals of the Cordova project is to serve as a stop-gap solution to the development of pure Web applications targeting mobile browsers.
To ensure a smooth transition between hybrid and pure-Web development approaches, it is important to keep the APIs for advanced capabilities provided by Cordova aligned with the equivalent APIs standardized in W3C.
To that end, a collaboration effort between the Cordova project and W3C has started, with a known list of opportunities for alignment.
