Mobile Web Frameworks - Part1

In just 1½ year time frame myriad mobile web frameworks are available to the developer’s community to develop applications fast, compatible & extendable. In this posting I am writing the list of popular Mobile UI frameworks and in next post will write the list of Mobile Application frameworks.

A Mobile Web UI framework is used to create mobile web user interfaces and the framework provides Web Widgets, Themes, Events and Animations to the developers.

The following are the list of Mobile Web UI frameworks available to the developer’s  community. And all these are available for free of cost.

iWebKit is a file package designed to help developers to create iPhone and iPod Touch compatible website or webapp. It is easy to use, fast, compatible & extendable.

jQTouch is a jQuery plugin which helps create immersive experiences on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Magic Framework is a native iPhone UI imitator and HTML5 db interface built in html/css/javascript. It's useful for online websites or on-device Webkit-based applications looking to imitate the native iPhone UI and/or use native storage without having to write native code. Magic Framework will only work with Webkit based browsers.

Safire is an open source framework written in HTML/CSS/JS. It make's building/porting applications to the iPhone ridiculously easy.

WebApp.Net is light weight and provides powerful and easy to use items, based on javascript and cascading style sheets technologies.

WidgetPad , the collaborative development environment for developers to develop fully-interactive, stand-alone, downloadable SmartPhone applications in HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. WidgetPad  allows developers to develop cross-platform smartphone applications and eliminating the need to learn platform specific API sets. WidgetPad offers project management, source code editing, debugging, publishing, code-sharing, and even versioning - all inside a browser.

I invite you to share here any other popular Mobile Web UI framework you came across
