### Mobile Clients
**PLACEHOLDER FOR SDK INTRO**
Loopback Mobile Client SDKs give mobile developers direct access to
mobile models and services from their native development environment and language.
In summary, mobile clients work with objects that are connected to LoopBack
to provide data and perform actions.Those objects are captured as models in
LoopBack.
LoopBack SDK's support both predefined static schema's and dynamic
'schema-less'mobile models.
A Dynamic or Schema-less model strategy allows mobile developer to
define custom model definitions directly from the SDK that are often
specific to a mobile application needs. Similar to 'Document
Storage' solutions such as Redis or MongoDB. Dynamic models have
the added benefit of allowing mobile developers to work with
LoopBack as a Mobile back end-as-a-service (mBaaS) without having to
predefine the model definition on the server. This strategy is
often leveraged for data that originates on the mobile device and
then persisted in the Mobile backend for later mobile consumption or
server side processing.
Static or traditional schema strategies are also supported in
LoopBack. A static model configuration promote a consistency in
mobile model data and provides easy integration or direct binding to
traditional RDBMs such as Oracle and MySQL. The added governance and
reliability in providing a 'rigid' model also promotes more robust
data integrity, validation and standardization.
The ability to leverage either or both strategies in a mobile middle
tier allows developers to select the best implementation for their
use case.
