- Native App: Mobile or Desktop app that runs natively in a device (e.g., iOS, Android).
- Single-Page App (SPAs): JavaScript application that performs most of its user interface logic in a web browser, communicating with a web server primarily using APIs (e.g., AngularJS + Node.js, React).
- Regular Web App: Traditional web application that performs most of its application logic on the server (e.g., Express.js, ASP.NET).
- Machine-to-Machine (M2M) App: Non-interactive application, such as command-line tools, daemons, IoT devices, or services running on your back-end. Typically, you will want to use this option if you have a service that requires access to an API.
