This article introduces how to use Jasonette to integrate web views and native components to build a true "hybrid" application, turning your website into a mobile application. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

JSON realizes seven lines of code to turn the website into a mobile application

If I told you that you only need the above 7 lines of orange JSON code to turn a website into a mobile application, would you believe it? There is absolutely no need to rewrite the website using some framework API to get the same behavior as a mobile app. If you already have an existing website, you can "package" it as a native app by simply referencing the URL.

On this basis, you only need to slightly adjust the JSON code content, and you can directly access all native APIs, native UI components, and native view transitions (View Transition).

The most simplified example effect is shown below:

As you can see from this, I have embedded a GitHub.com Web page, but the rest of the layout on the interface are native UI components, such as the navigation bar and the tab bar at the bottom. And we don't need to use any API to rewrite the website, we can automatically get the native switching effect.

Before introducing the specific method, you may ask: "It looks cool, but apart from displaying Web pages within the native application framework, what is the significance of this technology?

Ask Great! This is also the focus of this article. We only need to create a seamless two-way communication between the web view and the application, so that the parent application can trigger any JavaScript function within the web view, and then the web view can be accessed from the outside Call the native API.

For example:

Please note that this view contains:

  • ##Native navigation bar, and built-in switching function

  • A Web view, which embeds a Web application that can generate QR codes

  • Include a native text input component at the bottom

All of the above can be achieved by slightly adjusting the properties of the JSON code.

Finally, please note that with Enter different content in the text input area, and the QR code will change accordingly. The entered text can trigger the JavaScript function inside the QR code generator web application to regenerate the QR code image.

There is currently no A development framework has tried to fundamentally solve the problem of "seamlessly integrating web views with native applications" because these frameworks have focused on a completely native, or completely HTML5 approach

Whenever we hear someone When discussing the future of mobile apps, you're likely to hear something like, "Will HTML5 or the native approach win out?" "Such a statement.

No one seems to think that native and html can coexist, and the collaboration and final realization of the two does not seem to be easy.

This article will introduce to you:


  • Why the integration of web engines and native components is often a better approach.

  • Why seamless integration of HTML and native is so Difficult, and how to implement it.

  • More importantly, how to use such technology to quickly build your own applications.

##Why use HTML in native applications?Before going further, let’s first look at whether it is good or bad, and when it is appropriate to use this method. . Some potential use cases for this approach are as follows:

1. Using Web native functions

It may be more appropriate to use a Web engine to implement some of the content in the application. approach. For example, WebSocket is a native Web function and is mainly designed for the Web environment. In this case, it is more suitable to use the built-in Web engine (iOS's WKWebView and Android's WebView) instead of installing some A third-party library that "emulates" WebSocket.

Wouldn't it be better to use a free tool to achieve your goal without installing any additional code. This also leads to the next reason.

2. Avoid binary files that are too large in size

Some functions may require the help of huge third-party libraries, and you may want to use such functions quickly.

For example , in order to include the QR code image generator natively, you may need to install some third-party libraries, which will cause the binary file size to increase. But if you use the Web view engine and call the JavaScript library through a simple
