How Cordova works

Cordova enables developers to build cross-platform mobile applications using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It wraps your web app into a native container, allowing it to access device features through a unified set of JavaScript APIs. This approach provides a single codebase for both iOS and Android, while still leveraging native capabilities such as the camera, sensors, and barcode scanning through plugins like barKoder.

Apache Cordova provides a platform for building mobile applications using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It leverages a native container that wraps your web application and bridges it to native device APIs using plugins. This allows web-based apps to access core device features such as the camera, file system, and barcode scanner—functionality traditionally only available to native applications.

Cordova’s plugin architecture enables seamless integration of native capabilities into hybrid apps. The barKoder Cordova plugin utilizes this system to deliver fast, accurate barcode scanning through a simple JavaScript interface, making it ideal for cross-platform development targeting both Android and iOS.

Supported platforms

Cordova apps can be built for Android and iOS using standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Development can be done on any platform, but building for iOS requires a macOS environment with Xcode installed.

  • Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher is required
  • iOS 11 or higher is required
  • Building iOS apps requires macOS with Xcode installed
  • Windows can be used for developing and building Android apps

Barcode Types Explained: 1D vs 2D and Which One You Should Use

Barcodes come in two main types: 1D (linear) and 2D (two-dimensional). While 1D barcodes are simple, low-cost, and perfect for retail, 2D barcodes pack more data into less space, making them ideal for healthcare, logistics, and mobile use. This guide explains the differences, pros and cons, and helps you decide which barcode type best fits your business needs.
