Web applicationsMobile web apps are Websites designed for

touch & small screen, written in HTMLAccessible from any browser on any mobile

device hence it is platform independentMobile web applications have an advantage

over native applications : i.e developers don’t have to code for specific devices. A single piece of code structure will work across every mobile platform and it’s easier to update and maintain mobile web applications. For example – Gmail mobile version, Facebook mobile version.
