How web applications are accessed from phones?

Question

How web applications like Flipkart or Amazon can be accessed from Android or iOS phone?

Answer 1

Web applications are accessed via the phone's Web Browser. Because unlike Mobile Apps that use native programming languages like Objective-C (iphone), Java (Android), C++(Windows); Web Apps use languages like Javascript, HTML5, CSS3 or other web app frameworks that are rendered by a Web Browser.

Answer 2

oh ok, then if you don't open them on a Web Browser and you downloaded them from an app store, now they live on your phone and are accessed through icons on the home screen, then they must be "hybrid" apps. This means they are part native apps, part web apps. And like web apps, their HTML5 structure needs to be rendered in a browser, but the secret lies in a browser that is embedded WITHIN the app on your phone.

Answer 3

The languages to build Hybrid apps? Swift, Objective-C, Java, and the others that websites use like HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. But instead of targeting a mobile browser, they will target a WebView hosted inside a native container. These hybrid apps leverage Apache Cordova, which provides a set of JavaScript APIs to access device capabilities through plug-ins that are built with native code. These plug-ins include APIs for accessing the device’s accelerometer, contacts, camera, etc.
