Crosswalk is a web runtime for HTML5 applications. It provides all the features of a modern browser, combined with deep device integration and an API for adding native extensions.

Crosswalk runtime can be used for creating HTML5 application with a dedicated runtime that can be run on multiple platforms without any dependency for webview. It can be used for creating application that uses HTML5 features like WebRTC, hardware-accelerated WebGL support and bleeding edge HTML5 features.

Crosswalk runtime based HTML5 applications can be built for Android (version 4.0 and above), Tizen Mobile, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

What is Crosswalk for?

If you are a developer working with web technologies, Crosswalk enables you to deploy a web application with its own dedicated runtime. This means three things:

You can distribute your web application via app stores.
Your application won't break in whatever ancient webviews or browsers your audience is using, as you control the runtime and its upgrade cycle.
You can build applications without worrying so much about runtime differences and quirks: you only have one runtime to deal with.

What can Application Developers do with Crosswalk runtime?

Use all the features available in modern web browsers: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript.
Access the latest recommended and emerging web standards.
Use experimental APIs not available in mainstream web browsers.
Control the upgrade cycle of an application by distributing it with its own runtime.
Add custom extensions to an application, to leverage platform features not exposed by Crosswalk or the standardized web platform.

Crosswalk is open source project, released under a BSD licence. The project was founded by Intel's Open Source Technology Center. Intel XDK (HTML5 development environment) can be used to build Android apps with Crosswalk runtime.
