About Electron
Electron is a framework for building desktop applications using web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It embeds Chromium and Node.js, allowing developers to write desktop apps that run natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The framework handles common desktop development tasks including native user interface interactions, automatic software updates, application installers, and crash reporting. Developers can use packages from the npm ecosystem or write native add-ons to extend functionality.
Electron is an open-source project developed by electron and licensed under the MIT License. It is maintained by an active community of contributors under the OpenJS Foundation. The framework provides a cross-platform development approach, with Chromium builds bundled to ensure consistent rendering and access to the latest web platform features across all supported architectures.
