Nativeclient: A new Google product. In the trial phase, it can help network developers compile more powerful web applications so that network applications can run directly on local operating systems without using browsers. Google said it can help network developers improve the speed of network application development and bring the same experience as desktop applications.
For example, developers can use native client to speed up photo sharing websites. Users can directly modify images on their websites for related editing.
Native client is similar to Microsoft ActiveX technology, but can run on other operating systems except Windows, including Linux and Mac. Some features are similar to Adobe's alchemy technology.
Developers can use the gnu c compiler to create their ownCodeWith a special browser plug-in, the network application can be compiled and run on the user's PC.
The software currently supports Firefox, Safari, opera, and Google Chrome browsers, but cannot support ie. A Google spokesman said that IE support will be added when native client is basically complete. To ensure the security of the software, Google has built a so-called "inner-sandbox" that can analyze the security vulnerability code, it also protects other parts of the operating system from infection.
