The First HTML5 Mobile App Framework
Sencha Touch allows you to develop web apps that look and feel native
on Apple iOS and Google Android touchscreen devices.
Built with Web Standards
Sencha Touch is the world's first app framework built specifically to leverage HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript for the highest level of power, flexibility, and optimization. We make specific use of HTML5 to deliver components like audio and video, as well as a localStorage proxy for saving data offline. We have made extensive use of CSS3 in our stylesheets to provide the most robust styling layer possible.
Altogether, the entire library is under 80kb (gzipped and minified), and it's trivial to make that number even smaller by disabling unused components or styles.
The World’s Best Devices
Sencha Touch is a cross-platform library aimed at next generation, touch enabled, devices. Our initial beta is compatible with iOS and Android, which together represent over 90% of current US mobile traffic. Android developers can also make use of a special theme we've created just for Android. With the ever-rising number of Android devices and the widespread popularity of WebKit on mobile systems, we expect our supported device list to grow very rapidly.
Enhanced Touch Events
As the core method of interaction in a touch-based app, robust touch events are vital to the framework's architecture. On top of the standard events supported by the browser like touchstart and touchend, we have added a long list of custom events that can be used like tap, double tap, swipe, tap and hold, pinch, and rotate.
Data Integration
Just like our other frameworks, Sencha Touch comes with an incredibly powerful data package. Developers can easily request data from a wide variety of sources whether by Ajax, JSONp, or YQL, bind that data to specific visual components or templates, and then take that data offline with localStorage writers.
