WebFX

WebFX is a JavaFX application transpiler powered by GWT. It can transpile a JavaFX application into a traditional self-contained pure JavaScript web app (with no plugin or server required for its execution in the browser).

For more explanation, please visit the website and read the documentation.

Fully cross-platform

WebFX doesn't target only the Web. WebFX applications can be compiled to run natively on all major platforms from a single code base:

You can check out the demos to see how a GitHub workflow can generate these executables. For example, here is the GitHub workflow for the FX2048 demo and the executables that it generated.

Ecosystem

In addition to this repository, which is the very heart of WebFX, a whole ecosystem is being built for the development of complex WebFX applications, such as Enterprise level applications. This ecosystem is presented at the WebFX Project level.

More demos

We have a dedicated space for the demos. You will find all the demos presented on the website, and many more live demos, with their source code and GitHub workflow.

Getting started

The guide to getting started is included in the documentation.

Status

Although the project successfully passed the Proof of Concept and the prototype phases, it's still in the incubation phase. We are working to make it a Minimal Viable Product.

WebFX is not yet ready for production. At this stage, we provide only snapshot releases, and breaking changes may occur until the first official release. But you are very welcome to try WebFX and play with it.

Roadmap

You can consult our roadmap. Issues will be open when approaching the General Availability, and the project will have reached a more stable state.
