Guide to Tizen Features

Tizen Web guides introduce the various features that you can use in creating Tizen Web applications.

Select the feature you are interested in and see what Tizen offers for your application.

The following guides describe features provided by the Tizen Web Device API:

Tizen
Enables you to handle generic events and sort and filter data.
Application
Enables you to configure application properties, and manage application data, packages, and alarms.
Communication
Enables you to send data to networks and other applications, and receive data back from them.
Content
Enables you to manage files, playlists, and downloads, and view file details.
Input/Output
Enables you to manage input and output data in your applications.
Multimedia
Enables you to manage the device sound levels and media keys.
System
Enables you to access and manage and retrieve information from the device and its sensors.
User Interface
Enables you to manage badges and notifications on the screen.
Social in mobile applications only
Enables you to manage the user's personal data, such as contacts, calendars, and call and browsing history, on the device.

Note
In Tizen Web Device APIs, there are 2 types of APIs: mandatory and optional. The mandatory APIs are always available on all Tizen devices. The optional APIs provide functionality that depends on the available device hardware or software capabilities, and they may not be available in all Tizen devices. For example, the Bluetooth and NFC API hardware features are optional, and not supported on all devices. To determine the availability of optional APIs, use the tizen.systeminfo.getCapability() method of the System Information API (in mobile and wearable applications). Note that all mandatory APIs are supported on the Tizen Emulators, while the optional APIs may or may not be supported. For the details of each API, see Tizen Web Device API Reference.
