Ways to pass data from Webview to Tauri and back

[bdotsamir]

There are a couple of different ways to do this.

One of these is Tauri's built-in implementation with events & serde_json:

• https://docs.rs/serde_json/latest/serde_json/

Another option is an HTTP API on the Rust end

A third option (which I am personally in favor of) is a websocket server on the Rust end:

• https://docs.rs/warp/latest/warp/filters/ws/index.html
• Maybe utilizing protobuf to minimize the amount of possibly weirdly structured JSON, especially when passing VST data back and forth.
  • google (makers of protobuf) does not have an official protobuf implementation for rust, however the guys over at tokio have one: https://github.com/tokio-rs/prost
