Google released new Software, Native Client under open source license on Monday. The Web Developers can build Web Applications very quickly with the help of this technology.The software directly communicates with operating system rather than web browser.
As per Google, Native Client is a research technology that was launched to get a feedback from research and open source community people. Developers create their code using a version of the GNU C Compiler, so that desktop applications can be compiled to run on the user’s PC using a special browser plugin.
“Developers could use Native Client to speed up a photo-sharing Web site, for example, so that users could touch up photos without ever leaving the site. Modern PCs can execute billions of instructions per second, but today’s web applications can access only a small fraction of this computational power,” Google spokesman Brad Chen wrote on a company blog.
Native client resembles with Microsoft’s ActiveX technology and Adobe technology called Alchemy. Also, it can run on on Linux and the Mac OS as well as Windows. The technology does not support Internet explorer. But, it can run on Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera browsers. To keep Native Client secure, Google has built something called “inner-sandbox” that will analyze code for security bugs and protect the rest of the operating system.
