About

What is energy?

Energy is a robust GUI framework developed in Go, leveraging LCL and CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) to facilitate the creation of cross-platform desktop applications. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, allowing developers to build native applications using familiar web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The framework offers a rich CEF API and LCL system native widgets, ensuring a simple development environment with fast compilation speeds. Developers can integrate mainstream front-end frameworks such as Vue, React, or Angular. Energy also features high-performance event-driven communication between Go and Web components via IPC, and flexible resource loading from local files or embedded resources.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to build robust cross-platform desktop applications, integrate web technologies into native GUIs, and leverage the power of Go with Chromium Embedded Framework. Especially valuable for creating applications that require a rich user interface and high performance across different operating systems.
