SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a clear, developer-friendly explanation of Tauri's architecture, including how the Rust Core and Shell frontend interact via IPC, and how the webview framework underpins secure desktop apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Core-Shell design: separation of the Rust backend (Core) from the frontend shell, enabling secure, low-footprint apps.
  • IPC & WebView integration: explains the JSON-RPC style command and event flow between front and back ends.
  • Security model & platform support: covers trust boundaries, capabilities, and cross-platform webview usage (WebView2, WKWebView, WebKitGTK).

Quick Start

Explain how to map front-end commands to Rust back-end handlers in a Tauri app.

FAQPage Schema
How does Tauri's core-shell architecture work for cross-platform desktop apps?▼

Tauri's core-shell architecture separates the Rust backend Core from a frontend Shell, enabling secure, low-footprint cross-platform desktop apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux using native webviews.

How do I map frontend commands to Rust backend handlers via IPC in Tauri?▼

Tauri IPC uses a JSON-RPC style command and event flow to map frontend shell commands directly to Rust backend Core handlers, securely bridging the webview and native Rust logic.

What is the security model and trust boundary for Tauri webview apps?▼

Tauri's security model defines strict trust boundaries and capabilities between the Rust Core and webview Shell, ensuring safe IPC communication and controlled access to native desktop functionalities.

Does Tauri support native webviews across Windows, macOS, and Linux?▼

Tauri supports cross-platform desktop apps by leveraging native webviews, specifically WebView2 on Windows, WKWebView on macOS, and WebKitGTK on Linux for a low-footprint shell.

Tauri vs other desktop app frameworks: why choose a Rust backend with a webview shell?▼

Choosing a Rust backend with a webview shell provides a secure, low-footprint alternative to bundled browser frameworks, utilizing native OS webviews and strict IPC trust boundaries for cross-platform desktop apps.
