IBM Worklight v5.0.5 > Develop IBM Worklight applications > Start with Worklight projects, applications, environments, and skinsCreate the client side of an IBM Worklight application
Use Worklight Studio to create the client side of an IBM Worklight application...
- Use an existing Worklight project, and create your application in it
- Create a Worklight project, and your application in it as its first application.
After creating the Worklight application, develop using APIs...
- JavaScript client-side API for hybrid apps
- Objective-C client-side API for native iOS apps
- Java client-side API for native Android apps
- Java client-side API for Java ME apps
You can also use your own custom libraries or third-party libraries when you create mobile applications in Worklight Studio.

JavaScript client-side API for hybrid apps
With the JavaScript client-side API, you can develop hybrid applications that target all environments. You can use the capabilities of the IBM Worklight runtime client API for mobile applications, desktop, and web to develop your applications.
Objective-C client-side API for native iOS apps
IBM Worklight provides the IBM Worklight Objective-C client-side API that you can use to develop native iOS applications. This API provides three main capabilities:
- Call back-end services for retrieving data and performing back-end transactions.
- Write custom log lines for reporting and auditing purposes.
- Write custom challenge handlers to enable user authentication.
Java client-side API for native Android apps
IBM Worklight provides the IBM Worklight Java client-side API that you can use to develop native Android applications. This API provides four main capabilities:
- Call back-end services for retrieving data and performing back-end transactions.
- Writing custom log lines for reporting and auditing purposes.
- Authenticating users before they access sensitive data or perform privileged actions.
- Implement custom challenge handlers to allow for a customized authentication process.
Java client-side API for Java ME apps
IBM Worklight provides the IBM Worklight Java client-side API that you can use to develop native Java ME applications. This API provides two main capabilities:
- Call back-end services for retrieving data and performing back-end transactions.
- Writing custom log lines for reporting and auditing purposes.
