Awesome PhoneGap/Cordova

A curated list of amazingly awesome PhoneGap/Cordova libraries, resources and shiny things. Inspired by other awesome lists.

Apache Cordova - Apache Cordova is a set of device APIs that allow a mobile app developer to access native device function such as the camera or accelerometer from JavaScript. Combined with a UI framework such as jQuery Mobile or Dojo Mobile or Sencha Touch, this allows a smartphone app to be developed with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
PhoneGap - PhoneGap is a free and open source framework that allows you to create mobile apps using standardized web APIs for the platforms you care about.

X-to-Native Tool
J2ObjC   —  Google’s transpiler that translates Java to Objective-C. It also includes basic Java libraries ported to Objective-C. Basic usage is to develop the app logic in Java to be shared between your Android and iOS app. The Android app would use the logic natively. For iOS, you translate the Java logic to Objective-C and import the translated code into your Swift or Objective-C project. J2ObjC is open-sourced on github and is freely available.
