NativeScript, a framework for native mobile application development leveraging JavaScript technologies, now has Version 5.0 available.

Featuring a set of cross-platform abstractions and runtimes, the open source NativeScript lets you develop native mobile apps with JavaScript, TypeScript, or Angular. A NativeScript runtime translates between JavaScript, TypeScript, and Angular and the native APIs in Apple iOS and Google Android, letting developers write an application just once to support both platforms.

Where to download NativeScript

You can download NativeScript CLI through NPM, after installing Node.js: npm install -g nativescript.
