heX is a framework that integrates Chromium (via CEF) and Node.js to build cross-platform desktop applications using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It can also be embedded as a web container module into native desktop projects, and HeXium combines Chromium and Node.js for debugging.
Use cases
- build desktop apps with html5 and node.js
- embed a chromium web container in a native desktop application
- require node.js modules from web pages in a desktop app
- access the dom from node.js modules
- debug node.js in chrome developer tools
- develop cross-platform guis using web technology
When to choose
- you want to build a desktop app with pure web front-end skills (HTML/CSS/JS) plus Node.js native APIs
- you need to embed a scriptable Chromium-based web view into an existing C++ desktop project
- you want Chrome DevTools-based debugging for a hybrid web/Node.js app
When to avoid
- you need a maintained framework with current Chromium and Node.js versions - the project has been inactive since 2014
- you prefer modern alternatives like Electron or NW.js which are actively developed
- you need small binaries or high performance native UIs
