# Ionic Framework
|
|
|
|
Ionic the open source HTML5 Mobile Framework for building amazing, cross-platform native apps with HTML, Javascript, and CSS.
|
|
|
|
We built Ionic because the options for using HTML5 in native apps weren't good enough. They weren't built to focus on
|
|
native apps targeting the newest of devices. They had too many hacks to support old devices that didn't have
|
|
meaningful market share, or they were too focused on building mobile websites.
|
|
|
|
Many were slow, had excessive DOM operations, and relied on bulky libraries like jQuery. They weren't built with
|
|
performance and great design as the top concerns.
|
|
|
|
With Ionic we've built a framework meant for native. We don't tie you to the URL bar, and we aren't dwelling on the past or
|
|
worrying about supporting marginal, slow devices.
|
|
|
|
It's important to realize that Ionic is not a replacement for frameworks used for building mobile web apps. There are a lot
|
|
of great solutions that work well for websites, like [jQuery Mobile](http://jquerymobile.com/).
|
|
|
|
Ionic is also not a good solution if you need to support older generation devices. Our compatibility *starts* at iOS 6 and Android 4.2. We will never support devices older than this.

|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
To start using ionic, you have two options: copy over the built JS and CSS files, or
|
|
use the `ionic` tool.
|
|
|
|
The source files are in the `dist/` folder. You can just grab the `dist/ionic.js` and `dist/ionic.css` files and
|
|
you'll be good to go.
|
|
|
|
But we recommend using the `ionic` tool because it's faster and gives you a good starting structure for your app.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running examples
|
|
|
|
Ionic comes with many interesting examples showing the power of the framework. To
|
|
check them out, navigate into the source folder, and start a web server. The easiest
|
|
way is to use Python:
|
|
|
|
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
|
|
|
|
node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt watch
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:8000/example/
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:8000/test/
