Electron

Description

Open-source framework for developing cross-platform desktop apps using mature, stable and widely adopted web technologies.

Framework

Electron uses the Chromium engine (the open-source project for Google's Chrome browser) as the fundamental building block for most of its core functionality, including Blink (Rendering Engine) and V8 (JavaScript Engine) and many other components.

Rendering

Blink handles visual presentation, including DOM mgmt and parsing and displaying HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Electron uses the chrome-sandbox binary for its render process. See sandboxing
