Mobile framework world is extremely competitive one.&nbsp;recently,&nbsp;jQuery&nbsp;library was a king (as a mobile core framework), but far from the best one.<span>Don’t get me wrong,&nbsp;jQuery&nbsp;is a great library if you want to maintain, manipulate, and control DOM elements, unfortunately, it lacks MVC architecture and&nbsp;jQuery Mobile&nbsp;is a best example why this is a failed approach.On the other hand,&nbsp;AngularJS&nbsp;can do everything that&nbsp;jQuery&nbsp;does and much more, like:</span><ol><li>MVC pattern</li><li>data binding</li><li>forms validation</li><li>dependency injections</li><li>templates</li></ol><span>Ionic and Onsen UI are&nbsp;AngularJS&nbsp;based mobile UI frameworks.&nbsp;AngularJS&nbsp;core (approach) makes them very similar; if you ever wrote such application your transition is going to be smooth and painless.</span><h2>Ionic&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>Beauty of Ionic framework is in its modern simplicity.&nbsp;Ionic has a more mature feature and CSS component set and out of the box. Injectable delegate services, representing the UI elements (directives) gives you more control over UI/UX interactions. The development community is (currently) very active and it's gaining traction.<ul><li>command like "ionic start myApp tabs" still don't available in onsenUI</li><li>Material Design like "Cardboard" are available</li><li>Native theming and features&nbsp;</li></ul><h2>Onsen</h2>Onsen UI walks a similar path but unique in its own way. Default theme is naturally flat and distinctively different then Ionic one, especially if you spend some time playing with it. First time I saw it I was disappointed a bit, you need to understand it was after I decided to switch from ionic framework. Onsen UI is responsive.<ul><li>simpler structure, easy to start</li><li>couple with Monaca IDE, some of features are only available only if you use Monaca. Otherwise, you have to create things by yourself.</li></ul><span>Unlike Ionic, (this may change in the future) Onsen UI provides different themes for provided platforms. It CSS core is built around the&nbsp;Topcoat&nbsp;library . It is an open source CSS library designed with speed in mind. Because it doesn’t contain any JavaScript, Topcoat was chosen as a perfect UI building block.</span><h2>Conclusion</h2><span>There’s nothing controversial or false here; both frameworks will deliver what they’re promising. Onsen UI is somewhat vague about Android 2.3 support; I’m talking about the claim that Onsen UI works with this specific Android version. Personally, they should state that some features will not work on such an old Android platform.</span>
