To run on your device, one of your applications needs to install the Crosswalk Project runtime APK. This component does not require any special permissions to install, but the application that brought you here does.
This is not an application and won't do anything if installed on its own. There will be no icon on the home screen. This is only needed to run certain applications that use the Crosswalk runtime. Don't install this if you weren't directed here by another program.
We provide core web platform functionality to hybrid and web applications including, but not limited to, HTML5, partial JavaScript 6 support, CSS3, and much more.
Developers can utilize Crosswalk as a runtime for their web applications and as an alternative to WebView for hybrid apps and take advantage of the latest web innovations despite the platform's standard web support. It expands the market reach of many new applications that require modern features.
An app developer can use the Crosswalk Project to:
Create modern web applications with good performance and features
- Utilize all the web-facing features available in modern browsers, including HTML5, partial JavaScript 6 support, CSS3, and many more.
- You can access the latest recommended and emerging web standards such as SIMD.js and the Presentation API*.
- You can add custom extensions to an application to leverage platform features not exposed by Crosswalk or the web platform.
- As a result of standardization, some APIs are considered experimental and might change between versions.
Instead of relying on the Crosswalk Project runtime services, apps can be bundled with the Crosswalk runtime instead. You can avoid web runtime changes below you by distributing your applications with a versioned Crosswalk runtime.
