Tauri is an open-source framework for building lightweight and high-performance desktop and mobile applications using web technologies. It allows developers to create user interfaces with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while using Rust for the backend logic. By leveraging the operating system’s native WebView instead of bundling a full browser, Tauri produces significantly smaller and more efficient application binaries. The framework supports multiple front-end frameworks such as React, Vue, Svelte, and others that compile to web technologies. Tauri provides a secure bridge between the frontend and the Rust backend, enabling native functionality while maintaining strong security practices. With cross-platform support, developers can build applications that run on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
