<p>There are 2 types of submodules - Tizen native modules and open source modules. The integration of open source modules in the native API structure allows you to add additional features by using well-known open source libraries. This is particularly advantageous for developers who are familiar with certain libraries because they can quickly add features and use previously written code in certain cases.</p>
-<p>The following figure and table define the mobile native API layout. The table describes the API modules and the functionality of all their submodule APIs within that module. The table also acts as a reference source for when you are planning a new feature for your application and need a way to efficiently compare different API modules to decide which APIs to use.</p>
