Servo Browser Engine Making Embedded App Progress With Tauri
The Servo open-source browser engine originally started by Mozilla has seen renewed development in recent time by Linux Foundation Europe and via developers at firms like Igalia. Last year they drafted plans for focusing on making Servo embed-friendly so that this Rust-written code could be easily leveraged by desktop apps and frameworks. Today more light was shed on this embed initiative and their focus on integrating with Tauri.
For pursuing their embedding plans, Servo is focusing on Tauri as a framework for building desktop apps with a web front-end and Rust back-end. Tauri is aiming for both desktop and mobile app support and is front-end and engine agnostic. Servo is aiming to be another web engine option for those leveraging Tauri for their apps.
Servo developers have been working on adding support to the WRY webview library used by Tauri. There is an experimental branch available for those interested. Servo engine developers have also been working on offscreen rendering support and other features that will be worthwhile in their embedding effort.
