Dweb Browser

ZH DOC

dweb-browser is a browser platform built in accordance with Dweb standards, and exposes the capabilities of the browser and the native system capabilities of the browser through various dweb modules. Currently, we have implemented support for mainstream platforms such as Android, IOS, MacOS, and Windows.

We define the app installed in Dweb Browser as a dweb app. With a simple configuration file, you can quickly install your web app on various platforms.

How to start development: flow.

• dweb app application developer documentation: docs

• Desktop download address Please download the version of the corresponding platform.

• Search for Dweb Browser in major app stores on mobile devices to download and use.

dweb

In Dweb Browser, we emphasize the concept of modules, and all functions are dweb modules.

A dweb app can be as small as a simple functional module to focus on providing some capabilities for the distributed network, that is, the module you call locally can be a remote module.

The concept of modularity will be further reflected in the programmable backend. The concept of modules is weakened for front-end developers, and front-end developers simply call any plug-in for any function.

Provide multi-level development requirements.

The module includes std.dweb, sys.dweb, browser.dweb, *.dweb and other standards.

std.dweb standard

The full-platform standard module, the interface provided needs to be consistent on each platform. And it needs to be recognized by the community.

Currently there are three:

• file.std.dweb: a standard module for file operations, providing standard capabilities for operating folders.

• http.std.dweb: a standard module for http services.

• dns.std.dweb: dns forwarding lookup module.

sys.dweb standard

System-level module, providing some system-level capabilities, the capabilities of each platform may be inconsistent. When some modules have consistent interfaces across all platforms and are recognized by the community, they will be upgraded to standard modules across all platforms.

Some examples:

• haptics.sys.dweb: vibration module, providing vibration capabilities, only implemented on mobile terminals.

• keychain.sys.dweb: key storage module.

• geolocation.sys.dweb: module for obtaining longitude and latitude.

• ...

browser.dweb standard

Browser-level module, implementing some browser-level functions.

Some examples:

• download.browser.dweb: download module, providing download capabilities.

• jmm.browser.dweb: It is a dynamic dweb module manager, based on which application functions similar to PWA can be implemented.

• js.browser.dweb: It is a javascript-runtime that uses WebWorker as the underlying implementation. Therefore, various standards in WebWorker can be used out of the box.

• ...

Plaoc

plaoc is a "cross-platform web application" development toolkit based on the Dweb Browser platform that is comparable to Cordova, Capacitor, and Tauri.

It provides full-link tools and can quickly call the capabilities of various platforms and systems.

Contains the packaging tool @plaoc/cli and the front-end plug-in @plaoc/plugins.

@plaoc/cli

@plaoc/cli is a command line tool for dweb app development and packaging applications to Dweb Browser.

For specific documents, please refer to cli document

@plaoc/plugins

@plaoc/plugins can give web developers the ability to directly call the API of each platform system.

For specific documents, please refer to plugins document

Q&A

If the Mac desktop client displays: "Dweb Browser" is damaged and cannot be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

You can run it using the following command.

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Dweb\ Browser.app
