Appium vs Selenium
Selenium Webdriver -
Support mobile web applications only
WebDriver has become the de facto standard for automating web browsers, and is a W3C Working Draft.
Appium Webdriver -
Support native and hybrid mobile apps
This class inherits from the RemoteWebDriver class, but it adds in additional functions that are useful in the context of a mobile automation test through the Appium server.
