Oracle Mobile Application Framework (Oracle MAF) is a hybrid mobile framework that allows rapid development of single-source applications which can be deployed to both Apple's iOS and Google's Android platforms. Oracle MAF uses HTML5 and CSS to render user interface in the webview. It executes Java applications for business logic, and uses Apache Cordova to access device features such as GPS activities and e-mail. It also provides built-in security.
