Rust bindings to the tiny zserge/webview library for rendering web-based GUIs in desktop applications using the host OS's native web engine. It enables two-way communication between Rust and JavaScript without bundling a browser like Electron.
Use cases
- build a desktop app with an HTML/CSS/JS UI in Rust
- create lightweight Electron alternatives with small binaries
- call Rust functions from JavaScript in a desktop GUI
- render web content in a native window using the OS web engine
- build cross-platform desktop tools with web frontends
When to choose
- you want a small, memory-efficient desktop GUI in Rust without bundling Chromium
- you need simple Rust-JavaScript interop in a native window
- you're targeting macOS, Linux, or Windows with web-based UIs
When to avoid
- you need modern, consistent rendering across platforms (Windows defaults to legacy MSHTML/IE)
- you need a full-featured, actively developed framework (consider Tauri or wry instead)
- you need mobile support
