Electron is an open source framework for creating cross-platform desktop applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application. Electron is used by leading companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Slack, and GitHub to create their desktop applications. With Electron, you can build applications for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, and can even use the same codebase across all three. Electron uses web pages as its graphical user interface (GUI) and can access native GUI features such as system notifications, file dialogs, and more. It also enables developers to build applications with native APIs in JavaScript, making it a powerful platform for developing desktop applications.
Compact: 10..15 times smaller than ElectronMonolithic: single DLL (dylib, so) Embeddable: runs in the same GUI thread, does not create a separate process for each window. Extensible: host application can provide native functions for scripting, call scripting functions, receive UI events and capture all requests to external resources (http, file, etc.).
