pywebview vs Eel #588

Closed bitnom closed 3 years ago

bitnom commented 4 years ago

What are the differences and similarities between pywebview and Eel?

r0x0r commented 4 years ago

I have no experience with Eel and I learned about it only half a year ago. As I can see the main difference is that Eel uses either Chrome App mode or Node / Electron for rendering, while pywebview relies on bundled web renderers (or optional CEF). Both approaches have their pros and cons. Most notable advantage for a built-in web renderer is a small executable size. On the other hand built-in web renderers tend to lag in terms of supporting web standards, so cutting edge technologies are out of question with pywebview.

Also From what I understand Google is phasing out Chrome app mode in the near future, so this approach will render all the existing apps useless.
