LanguageProject Introduction
Summary
NW.js (formerly node-webkit) is an open-source application runtime that lets developers build desktop applications with web technologies. By embedding a Node.js runtime and a Chromium browser engine, it provides a seamless environment where web pages can directly invoke Node.js modules.
Problem Solved
Traditional web applications are limited by browser sandboxes and cannot access local system resources directly. Native applications often require learning complex platform-specific languages. NW.js bridges this gap, enabling web developers to build powerful desktop applications with full access to the local environment using their existing skills.
Core Features
Direct Node.js Module Access
Call Node.js modules directly from the DOM, enabling powerful integrations between web frontend and backend functionalities.
Web Technologies for Native Apps
Build native desktop applications using familiar web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Native API Access
Provides access to various native APIs, allowing interaction with the operating system's file system, windows, menus, and more.
Application Packaging
Easily package your application into distributable executables for different operating systems.
Tech Stack
