I've started exploring, cordova and ionic but I dont see exactly how they differ they both use webviews, and the way we implement plugins differ apart from that how do they differ architecturally.

    Disclaimer: It's been a minute since I last looked into this.

    I believe Cordova just wraps your code in a web-viewer-within-a-mobile-app.

    I think Ionic actually handles taking your JS code and translating it to mobile OS specific API's to make it appear a little more "native."
