Click image for larger viewIBM Worklight provides client-side runtime code that embeds server functionality within the target-environment of deployed apps. These runtime client APIs are essential libraries that are integrated into the locally stored app code and complement the Worklight Server by exposing a predefined interface for apps to access native device functionality.
Among these APIs, Worklight utilizes the Apache Cordova (previously known as PhoneGap) development framework to deliver a uniform bridge between standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) and the native functions that different mobile platforms provide.
