Xamarin is a unique and powerful tool that uses a single language, C#, to develop applications for all mobile platforms. Unlike interpreted solutions, such as Appcelerator Titanium, it is natively compiled, which turns it into a go-to option for creating high-performance apps with a native feel and look.

Applications built on Xamarin platform are often compared to native for both iOS as well as Android mobile development platforms in terms of performance and user experience. While the code associated with business logic, network communication, and database access can be shared across all platforms, it allows you to build platform-specific UI code layer.
