Google has released a new beta version of its Chrome browser this week which is now integrated with Native Client, allowing C and C++ code to be seamlessly executed inside the browser with security restrictions similar to JavaScript.
Developers can use the open-source technology Native Client SDK to build web applications that seamlessly execute native compiled code inside the browser using the provided set of APIs.
Google explains:
“Native Client apps use Pepper, a set of interfaces that provide C and C++ bindings to the capabilities of HTML5. As a result, developers can now leverage their native code libraries and expertise to deliver portable, high performance web apps.”
Other new feature in the new Chrome beta release also include a newly added Web Audio API, a new JavaScript API offering advanced audio capabilities.
