Electron is a framework that combines Chromium and Node.js to enable developers to build desktop applications using JavaScript and web technologies, running natively across macOS, Windows, and Linux. The framework handles difficult infrastructure tasks like native UI integration, automatic updates, crash reporting, and installer generation, allowing developers to focus on application logic while choosing from popular front-end libraries like React, Vue, or Angular. Electron Forge provides a streamlined toolkit for bootstrapping and publishing apps, while Electron Fiddle offers an interactive environment for experimenting with the framework before committing to full development.
