Abstract

Mobiles are an integral part of daily life. With time, customers are expecting good and very versatile applications in less time. It is a big challenge to develop high performance mobile applications in this competitive market that would meet the expectation of customers. Mobile operating systems vendors are giving their best available resources for making applications in more convenient ways, although the development of new applications for each mobile operating system in short time is fairly a problem. Cross-platform mobile application development tools contribute in solving this problem largely. This paper presents a pragmatic comparison among four very popular cross platform tools, which are Rhodes, PhoneGap, DragonRad and MoSync. One of the main focuses of the comparison is to provide an overview on the availability of application programming interfaces, programming languages, supported mobile operating systems, licences, and integrated development environments. Furthermore, it also presents some critical points such as the factor of extensibility in tools and the effects that they may bring on market share. The comparison is aimed at supporting developers to make the right choice with respect to their needs/constraints.

跨平台移动开发工具的比较

手机是日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。随着时间的推移，客户期望在更短的时间内获得良好且非常通用的应用程序。在这个竞争激烈的市场中，开发高性能的移动应用程序以满足客户的期望是一个巨大的挑战。尽管在短时间内为每个移动操作系统开发新应用程序是一个相当大的问题，但移动操作系统供应商正在提供他们最好的可用资源，以便以更方便的方式制作应用程序。跨平台移动应用开发工具在很大程度上解决了这个问题。本文对Rhodes、PhoneGap、DragonRad和MoSync这四种非常流行的跨平台工具进行了比较。比较的主要焦点之一是概述应用程序编程接口、编程语言、受支持的移动操作系统、许可和集成开发环境的可用性。此外，还提出了工具的可扩展性因素及其对市场份额的影响等关键点。这种比较的目的是支持开发人员根据他们的需求/限制做出正确的选择。
