## Introduction
|
|
|
-Tauri is a polyglot and generic system that is very composable and allows engineers to make a wide variety of applications. It is used for building applications for Desktop Computers using a combination of Rust tools and HTML rendered in a Webview. Apps built with Tauri can ship with any number of pieces of an optional JS API / Rust API so that webviews can control the system via message passing. In fact, developers can extend the default API with their own functionality and bridge the Webview and Rust-based backend easily.

-Tauri apps can have custom menus and have tray-type interfaces. They can be updated, and are managed by the user's operating system as expected. They are very small, because they use the system's webview. They do not ship a runtime, since the final binary is compiled from rust. This makes the reversing of Tauri apps not a trivial task.

+## What Tauri is NOT
|
|
|
+- Tauri is not a lightweight kernel wrapper...instead it directly uses WRY and TAO to do the heavy-lifting in making system calls to the OS.
|
|
|
+- Tauri is not a VM or virtualized environment...instead it is an application toolkit that allows making Webview OS applications.
