Is this a framework that extends Cordova ?

Orubase it is a frameworks that integrates Cordova, Orubase HTML5 UI Controls and development environment(Visual Studio).

Does it offers more API to native features of each platform ?

Using Orubase you can access any third party plugins that is available in the Cordova plugins registry or access your own plugins without any hassle. Because we have seamlessly integrated visual studio so no need to worry about that Cordova command line process, you can directly use the reach visual studio UI interfaces to add plugin or run/debug the Orubase applications.

Cordova plugins registry reference:
https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/
https://plugreg.com/

Is this a framework that allows rendering UI components from one code base (like xamarin?)

Yes, using Orubase HTML5 UI Components you can render the iOS, Android and Windows phone applications with one code base and as well as that controls will looks like a native UI which means if you are running Orubase HTML5 button control in iOS it will looks like a iOS Button, vice-versa for Android and windows phone.
What are my advantages when using Orubase over using "just" Cordova.

If you are using Cordova based application need to create own user interface for mobile applications that is a complicate process for development but While using Orubase it offers HTML5 UI Controls and platform. While using Orubase you can directly concentrate on your application logic without worrying UI and Development environment.
