A full-featured HTML framework for building native-looking iOS and Android apps using web technologies.
Framework7 is a comprehensive open-source HTML framework designed specifically for building mobile applications with a native look and feel for both iOS and Android platforms. It enables developers to create progressive web apps (PWAs) and hybrid apps using familiar web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, eliminating the need for platform-specific languages. The framework focuses on delivering a native-like user experience while leveraging the simplicity and universality of web technologies.
Web developers and teams building mobile applications (iOS and Android), progressive web apps (PWAs), or hybrid apps who want to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without learning platform-specific languages like Swift or Kotlin. It is also suitable for developers already using React, Vue, or Svelte who need a mobile-focused UI framework.
Developers choose Framework7 for its dedicated focus on providing a native mobile experience with platform-specific UI components and gestures, all while using standard web technologies. Its unique selling point is offering dedicated versions for vanilla JavaScript, React, Vue, and Svelte, providing flexibility and easy integration into various project stacks without sacrificing the native look and feel.

Framework7 provides rich iOS and Android styled components like modals and lists, ensuring apps look native on both platforms as highlighted in its key features.
It offers dedicated versions for vanilla JavaScript, React, Vue, and Svelte, allowing seamless integration into diverse project stacks without rewriting code, as stated in the README.
Includes a powerful and customizable router for managing pages and navigation, essential for building smooth mobile app workflows directly from its feature set.
Comes with built-in touch swipe and gesture support, enhancing the mobile user experience with native-like interactions, a core focus of the framework.
As a full-featured framework, it adds considerable JavaScript and CSS overhead, which can slow down initial load times for PWAs and hybrid apps, a common trade-off for comprehensive UI libraries.
While theming is supported, customizing beyond the provided iOS/Android styles requires deep CSS knowledge and can be time-consuming, lacking out-of-the-box design flexibility.
Maintaining separate builds for Core, React, Vue, and Svelte might lead to inconsistencies or delayed updates across different framework versions, as seen in the complex build scripts in the README.
