title: Why is Cordova using Web SQL API which has been deprecated?
body: <p>If you check here: <a href="http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.3.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage" rel="nofollow">http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.3.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#Storage</a> , the page clearly shows the Web SQL Database API is being used.</p>
  
  <p>This Web SQL Database API is no longer being maintained as mentioned here: <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/" rel="nofollow">http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/</a></p>
  
  <p>Moreoever, the PhoneGap solution for Web SQL Database API is not available on all platforms. On the other hand, they also mention that indexedDB is supported, but on a different set of devices.</p>
  
  <p>Why haven they broken the cross platform norms and also used an API being deprecated?</p>
