What is Intel XDK App Framework?

---

App Framework is comprised of three parts 

  1. App Framework - a query selector library
  2. UI - a UI/UX library for smartphone and tablets
  3. Plugins - plugins built on top of App Framework
App Framework was built from the ground up to excel on mobile devices by being light and fast. It takes advantage of new browser features and supports valid W3C CSS selectors. User generated performance tests at jsperf.net have shown it to be faster than every other JavaScript* library available.
App Framework UI, also known as AFUI, is the only mobile framework that treats Android*, iOS*, Blackberry* and Win8* the same. In other words, AFUI does not degrade features or performance in order to resolve conflicts or bugs. For example, most frameworks consider Android* to be "broken" and ignore specific versions of that operating system or take shortcuts that perform poorly. App Framework solves these key issues to provide a clean and responsive HTML5 user interface.
Plugins are separate JavaScript libraries created to augment apps written using App Framework App Framework. Plugins provide useful features or functionality that may be outside the scope of basic applications. App Framework UI harnesses a few of the core plugins like af.scroller.js and af.css3animate.js.
