Review
Google Gears is an open source browser extension that lets developers create web applications that can run offline. Gears provides three key features: a local server to cache and serve application resources (HTML, JavaScript, images, etc.) without needing to contact a server,a database to store and access data from within the browser and a worker thread pool to make web applications more responsive by performing expensive operations in the background.
Google Gears is currently an early-access developers' release. It is not yet intended for use by real users in production applications at this time.
The latest version of Gears adds: support for Windows Mobile, HTTP requests and timers for workers, improved support for handling errors in workers and ability to load workers from a URL, even cross-domain URLs. You can use this with allowCrossOrigin() to create secure mashups without iframes. |
