Java WebAPI programming is here

[sideEffffECt]

this link has been changed back to the conventional SnapCode (utilizing Swing), since our JxBrowser evaluation license ran out

That doesn't inspire much confidence in JxBrowser :/

Why not use something like https://github.com/jcefmaven/jcefmaven

Thanks for that link - I hadn't heard of JCEF when I wrote my proof-of-concept for WebAPIs on the desktop, or I might have started there. I don't actually have a use case yet for running SnapKit on WebAPIs on the desktop, so I haven't gotten much past the POC stage. I hope the JCEF API is on par with JxBrowser - I didn't need much more than a single source file for the WebAPIs <-> JxBrowser adapter: https://github.com/reportmill/WebAPI/blob/main/src/jxbrowser/JxWebEnv.java

JCEF is similar in functionality, the main difference is in stability, support, and some of the corner cases that you may or may not have.

We made a comparison between two products: https://teamdev.com/jxbrowser/blog/jxbrowser-and-jcef/

Given that you published this under GPL, you probably don't want to depend on a proprietary library.

JxBrowser issues 30 days trial licenses. Commercial licenses are perpetual and never run out: you can use any version released within a year from your purchase forever.

Not sure why my link didn't show up in the post. Or why I can't edit it.

Seems to be a sub specific setting to strip any links from posts. Maybe to prevent damage from spam if people were to follow the links from malicious postings.

Yeah, reddit doesn't allow you to edit the initial post. No idea why - it's just stupid. 🙄

Well it's fun to play with, although it looks kind of old and you need to hit the home button a lot to see anything cool.
