Xpra library to make HTML5 clients
Largely copied and adapted from http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/473
Not realy usable yet, project under heavy development.
A demo project is using it right now, but in heavy development too : DexTop
Released under GPLv2
Xpra is a seemless X11 server, allowing you to remotely access to your applications.
This client is based on HTML5 canvas for modern browsers, and allow to render and interact with your X11 application directly inside your browser.
This library is Event based and try to provide a full and easy-to-learn encapsulation for every part of the Xpra protocol, and don't let the user deal with every other low-level programing problems.
Its core allows to deal with high-level Window encapsulations.
- Window object encapsulation
- Event based interactions
- Keyboard inputs
- Window pixmap drawn and updated on offscreen canvas
