> has additional native APIs, beyond the regular HTML5 ones I think maybe in windows you have native bindings to windows-specific api's.. but whats is shipped here is only the UI + databindings, mvc voodoo for plain HTML5.. for aditional native api's exposed to the javascript engine, you will need something like node-webkit.. This use nodejs just to compile giving a minified js + css styles.. so it's more like bootstrap or ionic framework
