I've worked with Titanium extensively, and a lot of this article is just plain wrong regarding Titanium. It seems like Sapan just read some older docs or articles on Titanium and did a write-up for traffic.
* Titanium uses the V8 JavaScript engine on both platforms (not JavaScriptCore or Rhino anymore)
* Titanium does not support the Windows phone platform (at least not yet), and the desktop app support has been discontinued so it technically doesn't even support Windows anymore either
* Titanium also produces Web/HTML as as output target for mobile web sites if desired (with little/no code changes)
* You can still embed webviews if you want and make "web wrapper" apps, just like PhoneGap (so yes HTML and CSS IS possible)
* Using external JS libraries IS possible, and is highly encouraged through the use of CommonJS modules
I appreciate comparison articles for the sake of the discussions that follow, but this much bad information is just not excusable.
- marknutter 14y agoI didn't think that the V8 engine was available on iOS in native apps.
- sgt 14y agoBe warned though, it's not easy to debug the embedded webviews. I put some HTML5-based charts into a Titanium app and it took so long that I wished I'd gone full native ObjC from the get-go.
