[discussion] Could you compare rust-webui vs tauri? #12

Hi,

tauri: backend language is rust? rust-webui: backend language is rust, but exported as C function ?

There should be more differences, I guess.

As far as I can tell, Tauri is written in Rust, and can only use Rust (Backend). And Tauri use WebView and can only be run if WebView runtime is installed and available.

WebUI is written in C, and the APIs are exposed to other languages, that's mean you can use the backend language you want (C++, Python, TS, JS, Rust, Go, V, Nim, Swift...). WebUI is using web browser as GUI, means at runtime it needs just a web browser which is installed everywhere. And recently webui start to support webview as well as an extra.
