Android with Firebase

What is Firebase?
  We know database in used for storing the data. With time many changes have evolved in storing this data from files to electronic devices.
Firebase is a database API provided by Google. It is Free with limited facilites. This API is usefull for the Developers who are more intrested in providing services to the customer rather than the data provided by the customer. It helps the developer to develop cross platform Applications in short period of time.

In Android, we have inbuilt SQLite Database. But we can also use external databases based on our requirement. Firebase can be integrated in Android very easily and helps you to focus more on Front End than Backend.
