About:
NW.js is a runtime environment that merges Node.js with the Chromium browser engine. It allows developers to build desktop applications using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while accessing the full power of the Node.js ecosystem directly within the application context.
Key Features:
  • Direct DOM access to Node.js modules
  • Native UI capabilities with Chromium
  • Cross-platform desktop app development
  • Full Node.js API integration
Use Cases:
  • Building cross-platform desktop applications with web technologies
  • Creating hybrid apps requiring both browser and file system access
Alternatives:
  • Electron – Electron uses separate processes for main and renderer, while NW.js allows direct Node access in the DOM
