Cordova has a lot of benefits

Cordova wraps your HTML/JavaScript app into a native container which can access the device functions of several platforms. These functions are exposed via a unified JavaScript API, allowing you to easily write one set of code to target nearly every phone or tablet on the market today and publish to their app stores.

1. One platform, multiple apps: Cordova offers a single platform that can be used to create cross-platform mobile applications. As such, you don’t have to worry about learning different programming languages for each platform.
2. Time saver: As hybrid apps take lesser time to develop as compared to developing an app for each native platform separately. Building your mobile application using Cordova will definitely allow you to allocate more time on your project.
3. Easy to maintain: As it bypasses version making it simple to update. With native apps, developers need to deliver a new version for each update and users need to update the app for each new version release.

Many http clients exists in Javascript in order to communicate with a Strapi API: Fetch API, axios or request.
