FAQs

Is go-sciter truly free to use for commercial applications, given Sciter's licensing?

Yes, go-sciter itself is open-source. However, the underlying Sciter engine has its own licensing. For commercial applications, you typically need a commercial license for Sciter, while non-commercial use is often free. Always check Sciter's official licensing terms.

What are the main advantages of using go-sciter over other Go GUI frameworks?

go-sciter excels by allowing developers to build UIs using familiar web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript) while leveraging Go for backend logic. This can speed up UI development for those already proficient in web tech, offering a different paradigm than native Go GUI toolkits.

Does go-sciter support all modern web features and JavaScript frameworks?

Sciter's engine provides robust support for HTML, CSS, and its own flavor of JavaScript (or TypeScript via compilation). While it handles many modern web standards, it's not a full browser engine like Chromium, so compatibility with every cutting-edge JavaScript framework or API might vary. It's best suited for direct HTML/CSS/script UI.
