Gloo is a modular toolkit of Rust crates providing ergonomic wrappers around browser APIs for WebAssembly development. It sits on top of the raw web-sys/js-sys bindings and can be used as an umbrella crate or as individual crates like net, storage, timers, and worker.

Use cases

• use browser APIs from Rust without fighting raw web-sys bindings
• build a web application frontend in Rust and WASM
• access localStorage and browser storage from Rust
• make HTTP requests from a WASM module
• use timers, events, and dialogs from Rust in the browser
• build a small targeted WASM library to embed in a JavaScript project

When to choose

• you are writing Rust compiled to WebAssembly and want ergonomic, idiomatic wrappers for browser APIs
• you want to pick individual crates (net, storage, timers) instead of a monolithic framework
• you are building libraries or apps on top of web-sys/js-sys and want a batteries-included layer

When to avoid

• you need a full UI framework with a virtual DOM and components - use Yew or Leptos instead
• your project is pure JavaScript/TypeScript with no Rust toolchain
• you target non-browser WASM environments like server-side WASI
