## EMWebKit: Cross-Language GUI Application Framework
EMWebKit is a powerful framework designed for creating cross-language GUI applications using web technologies. Whether you’re working with Python, Java, C++, or any other language, EMWebKit allows you to build rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs) effortlessly. Let’s dive into the details:
### Language Agnostic:
- No need to add language-specific bindings or wrappers. EMWebKit acts as a bridge between your application and the GUI layer, making it accessible from any programming language.
Use your favorite language without limitations.
### Web Technology Integration:
- Leverage the strength of web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to create dynamic and responsive interfaces.
Tap into the vast ecosystem of web frameworks and libraries.
### GUI Application :
- to make cross-lang without needing to add language bindings , it turned out as an application which will be started as process and gets gui content from server which will be your application which hosted http server , welcome.html file will guide you : [Visit](https://skillfulelectro.github.io/EMWebKit/welcome.html)
## Upcoming features :
- extensions
- Android
- bindings with Qt
- bindings with GTK
- iOS
- Embedded (EMWebKitOS)
## Notes:
- this project is based on the ElectronJS , Electron-builder and Chromium . these are choosen because of simplicity and cross-platform capabilities of them
- the idea of this project was to provide a simple way to create gui applications with any language and have the power to use web tech because of their strong community and tons of frameworks availability
- for now the project does not have so much security features for keeping your html , css and js code safe because of its open source nature so if you want to use it and keep your source code safe , add authentication to the project so other people dont be able to replace the project with malicious one and and steal your ui code also compile your html , css and js file
- this project is not aiming to have strict rules for config files , they can have any names based on your use cases
- if there is any features that project is lacking of , i would be glad to you help me in making this project a perfect one but we all know nothing will be perfect
