Mini Program types

When you create a new mini program, you can choose the mini program type, which can be:

  • DSL(Default): Native mini program
  • H5+: HTML5+ mini program

DSL/Native mini program

Native mini programs call native APIs provided by the wallet app directly. For the functionality introduction about native mini programs, see Manage Mini Programs.

H5+ mini program

H5+ mini programs are embedded with web pages and call native APIs provided by the wallet app through bridges. The overall Mini Program Manage functionalities are the same as that of native mini programs, but have a slight difference between two mini program types. The difference exists in the following aspects:
