﻿Welcome to Tizen!

Tizen is an open-source project that allows you to create feature-rich applications for multiple device categories.

The Tizen platform supports 2 different application types: the Web application and the native application. The Tizen platform also allows you to develop a hybrid application package where Web and native applications are packaged together to make more powerful applications. The Tizen platform ensures that all Tizen applications have consistent look and feel, regardless of whether you use the Web or native framework to create them.

The Tizen platform provides various profiles for application development: the mobile and wearable Web profiles can be used to develop Web applications for mobile and wearable devices, while the mobile and wearable native profile can be used to develop native applications for mobile and wearable devices.

When using the Tizen documentation, look for the profile icons on the upper right corner of each page. The icons (listed in the following table) indicate which profiles the topic applies to. "W" stands for the Web application profiles and "N" in the icon stands for the native application profiles.
