title: Migrating app from Cordova to ionic
body: <p>Experts,</p>
  
  <p>We have a couple of hybrid mobile apps we have developed using plain Cordova plugins and AngularJS that we developed over last few months.  I have been following Ionic framework over last few months and see that there are some benefits over plain Cordova/Phonegap.  If anybody has gone through migration of Hybrid apps from plain Cordova/Phonegap to Ionic or those who have implemented Apps using Ionic framework, pls share your thoughts:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Are there real performance benefits of using Ionic over plain Cordova with AngularJS?</li>
  <li>I have had issues with Cordova plugins like camera plugin and file chooser plugin and getting support or fixes from Cordova team has been a herculean task.  Does usage of Ionic alleviate such problems via quick support/fixes?</li>
  <li>I intend to use DB plugins (like mysql lite).  Has anybody used ionic mysql plugins that helps in faster (and performing) DB operations?  Any experience?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks and regards,
  Giri </p>
