Which free html5 framework to use for mobile development?

Question

JavaScript

Who-what used? (The very applicability of js for mobile development is aside).
There are a lot of them divorced.
My favorites are Ratchet, Ionic and Titanium. Can anyone tell me about them?
Ratchet is beautiful. Just sets of css icons, under the guise of operating systems - nothing more.
Ionic ... Somehow it is not clear.

If you are concerned with your app performance, Ionic is the right framework for you. Ionic is an HTML5 mobile framework with focus on performance, by leveraging hardware acceleration, and it requires no third-party JS library. It works best together with Angular.js to build an interactive app.

Too marketing description. Although inside it's just angular with a couple of directives-services-etc., which help to get around only some problems. At the same time, it is not as realistic as a ratchet.
Titanium . Cool enough. In principle, it allows you to create native GUIs for the application ... It's great, and it seems to work faster. But... Does anyone use native elements? In the coolest applications, they are very different from the standard design, but here it seems to be a non-trivial task to customize. Yes, and too strong binding to their services and their assembly of the eclipse.
And now CocoonJS caught my eye . Is it like advanced cordova? Do not know? And they have nothing written about the prices, which is strange.

Tell us about your experience, give advice .

Answer 1

Does anyone use native elements?

The point is that they translate JS type into native code, like Xamarin does with C#. Using the native code, GUI elements can also be colored as you like.
Ionic - slowly, alas. I don’t know how it is on the fifth generation of phones, but on 4S it’s slow. This is especially noticeable on bulky views - I have a lag when pressing the Back button when returning to a large view from 500 to 800 ms, this is prohibitive, in my opinion. It seems they are sawing something in the direction of caching views, we'll see.
There is also Framework7, an HTML5 framework that mimics iOS7 (good enough, I must say). But after looking at the code examples, I could not force myself to try to use it - after Ionic there is hell and sodomy.
Ratchet is kind of very short compared to Ionic. Not even pull to refresh.

Answer 2

Ratchet? are you sure? it's just a css framework (with problems) + push.js for page navigation + js for modals and slide effect.
Ionic is also based on Cordova.
so only Titanium is suitable for you, which one is unknown in the case, but I think that it is already ready for use.
PS Judging by the comment above, I could have misunderstood you, is that right?
