Tauri is an open-source software framework designed to create cross-platform desktop and mobile applications on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS using a web frontend. The framework functions with a Rust back-end and a JavaScript front-end[1] that runs on local WebView libraries using rendering libraries like Tao and Wry.[2][3] Tauri aims to provide a more lightweight alternative to similar existing frameworks such as Electron.[4][5]

Architecture
editCentral to Tauri's architecture are core components such as the Tauri crate, which serves as a hub for managing various functionalities like runtimes, macros, utilities, and APIs. The toolkit also includes essential tooling such as bundlers, CLI interfaces, DOM Inspector,[10] and scaffolding kits, to streamline the development and deployment processes. Tauri supports cross-platform application window creation (TAO) and WebView rendering (WRY), which allows compatibility across macOS, Linux and Windows platforms.
Tauri is built using Rust, a programming language emphasizing performance, type safety, and memory safety. It also allows users the function to switch individual APIs on and off,[11] and provides an isolation pattern to prevent untrusted scripts from accessing the back-end from a WebView.[12]
