/ About /

Capacitor is an open-source native runtime that enables developers to build cross-platform iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It provides a plugin API to access native device features such as camera, geolocation, notifications, and haptics. Developers can drop it into any existing web framework project, including React, Vue, or Svelte, and deploy to app stores.

/ How it works /

Developers install Capacitor into any existing web project, add native iOS/Android platforms via CLI, and use plugin APIs to access native device functionality from JavaScript.
