**Apache Cordova** is an application development platform that allows you to use common web technologies, primarily **HTML5**, **JavaScript**, and **CSS**, to create applications for mobile devices. **Cordova** uses a standard set of APIs to access common device features. Additional plugins allow you to access **BlackBerry 10** specific APIs, so that you can extend your application to tightly integrate with the **BlackBerry 10 OS**.
