Cordova wraps JavaScript into a native container that accesses device functions across platforms via a unified API, enabling one codebase to target multiple devices and publish to stores.

Cordova works by installing globally, then adding iOS and Android platforms. It compiles code for each platform, bundles plugins, and enables device API access through a rendering engine called wimpier.
