Pega Mobile Client™ provides a number of JavaScript APIs that allow mobile app developers to use existing device functionality, integrate with back-end services, and create feature-rich mobile apps.

JavaScript API

The Pega Mobile Client public API is accessible from the Pega Platform™ and consists of several interfaces and relevant methods for enhancing applications and managing their life cycles.

The API set encompasses several groups, which include the following functions:

• Management APIs – Controlling the life of a hybrid application and individual web applications, verifying connectivity status, and managing user accounts
• Device integration APIs – Integrating with hardware functions of end-user devices
• Helper APIs – Passing messages between web applications that run within a single hybrid application, switching between web applications, and overcoming device limitations
• Pega Platform Integration APIs – Authenticating users in the Pega Platform, controlling data synchronization and data store management processes

For a detailed description of individual objects and methods, see Public API Reference.
