Crate browser_window

Browser Window is a Rust crate that allows you to utilize a browser engine to build graphical interfaces. The idea is similar to Electron.

Warning

Browser Window is still in alpha stage of development. The API is bound to have breaking changes every minor version increment. Once version 1.0.0 is released, minor version increments will be backwards-compatible.

Warning

At the moment only Windows is suppored, but Linux support is on the way.

Moreover, the only supported browser engine right now is Chromium’s Blink. Therefore, the Chromium Embedding Framework (CEF) is used as a dependency. To get CEF set up properly, enable feature cef, and take a look here.
