This repository is used to compare the features available across various mobile platforms, with a specific focus on how the Web fares in that comparison.

Each feature is documented as a separate markdown file in the features directory.

To document a given feature, please start from the template file, and update it with data on the availability of the said feature across platforms.

For each line in hte list, include one of the following values (using bolding):

• unknown (default if empty): no info gathered on this platform
• browser: for HTML-based platforms, the feature is available and uses the same API as the one defined for browsers
• sysapp: for HTML-based platforms, the feature is available and uses the same API as the one defined by sysapps
• extension: for HTML-based platforms, the feature is available as defined by browsers or sysapps specs, but is extended with additional capabilities
• yes: feature is available
• partial: feature is partially available
• planned: not available yet, but work on this feature has been announced
• alternative: not available directly, but there exists work arounds (e.g. server-side solutions)
• no: feature is not available
• N/A: feature is not applicable to this platform

Defining what a feature is is tricky; the following documents can be used as source of inspiration:

• iOS list key reference
• Android permissions
• Android package index
• Windows API
• Cordova API reference
• Tizen API References
• Mozilla WebAPI
• Chrome Platform APIs
