I´m trying develop a game multiplatform, and wondering about the pros and cons about use Cocos2d html5 in JS vs Cocos2d-x in pure C+. Anyone have a feedback about use case for each technology?
Thanks a lot.

Question like this tend to attract subjective answers and are off topic on SO. – CodeSmile Jan 13 '14 at 16:24

Sometimes questions like this slip through the cracks. Generally the problem with x vs y questions is that they depend on specific requirements and programming language expertise more than anything. The SO help center denotes questions about "Product or service recommendations or comparisons" as off-topic. In this particular case it's not even a useful comparison to make, development in HTML5/JS is very different from C++ development. – CodeSmile Jan 13 '14 at 17:28

Yes, but the objective is make an app with language and targets platforms, and I think is very import decision that you have to make when init a project. Insist this a valid and interesting question. For example that LearnCocos2D comments is the diferent language, ok HTML 5 and JS would be an more easy language, other pro is relationated about de diferents platfoms you can deploy (mobile, web browsers and desktop with browsers engines). And what about performance? – Zeus Monolitics Jan 13 '14 at 17:43

http://stackoverflow.com/tour Ask practical, detailed questions. This question is attracting subjective opinions and it's too broad. Unless someone literally answers "anyone have some experience about this?" with "Yes". ;) – CodeSmile Jan 13 '14 at 20:16

Cocos2d-x
pros: Cross platform native app, great performance
cons: coding in C++, not available on web
Cocos2d-html5
pros: Cross platform on WEB, possible to publish in native with JSB, easy to code and maintain
cons: WEB app's performance is limited

Cocos2d-x with emscripten could be compile to JS with ASM optimitation. – Zeus Monolitics Jan 27 '14 at 12:07

also, with Cocos2d-html5 all your code will be exposed, while if you use cocos2d-x without js everything will stay closed source after compilation... – eadmaster Mar 12 '14 at 07:58

Just exactly how is "coding in C++" a con, compared to JS, totally defeats my understanding – Lake Mar 21 '17 at 11:09
