Summarize this article for a 10 year old
NativeScript is an open-source framework to develop mobile apps on the iOS and Android platforms. It was originally conceived and developed by Progress.[3] At the end of 2019[4] responsibility for the NativeScript project was taken over by long-time Progress partner, nStudio. In December 2020 nStudio also oversaw the induction of NativeScript into OpenJS Foundation as an Incubating Project.[5] NativeScript apps are built using JavaScript, or by using any programming language that transpiles to JavaScript, such as TypeScript. NativeScript supports the Angular[6] and Vue JavaScript frameworks.[7] Mobile applications built with NativeScript result in fully native apps, which use the same APIs as if they were developed in Xcode or Android Studio.[8] Additionally, software developers can re-purpose third-party libraries from CocoaPods, Maven, and npm.js in their mobile applications without the need for wrappers.[9][10][11]
