Inside First HTML5 Mobile Web App Framework

Sencha Touch allows you to develop mobile web apps that look and feel native on iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry touch devices

Built with Web Standards

Sencha Touch supports official HTML5 specs such as Offline & Storage, Device Access, Performance & Integration, Multimedia, Graphics, 3D & Effects and CSS3/Styling 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 120kb (gzipped and minified), and it's trivial to make that number even smaller by disabling unused components or styles.

Enhanced Touch Events

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.

Works Hand in Hand with PhoneGap

PhoneGap also enables developers to utilize native device APIs — like the Camera and Contact list — directly in JavaScript.
