A hybrid application, often referred to as a hybrid app, is a type of mobile application that is developed using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These applications are then wrapped in a native container, allowing them to be deployed on various mobile platforms like iOS and Android. This approach bridges the gap between native apps, which are built specifically for a single operating system, and web apps, which run in a browser.

The core functionality of a hybrid app is typically built using web standards. This allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills and potentially reuse code across different platforms, which can lead to faster development cycles and reduced costs. The native container provides access to device-specific features that are not directly available through web technologies alone, such as the camera, GPS, or the device's file system. This is often achieved through the use of frameworks and plugins.

While hybrid apps offer advantages in terms of cross-platform compatibility and development efficiency, they may sometimes face performance limitations compared to purely native applications, especially for graphically intensive or complex tasks. The user interface and experience can also sometimes feel less integrated with the native operating system compared to a native app. However, advancements in hybrid development frameworks continue to improve performance and user experience, making them a viable option for a wide range of mobile applications.
