Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the performance of frameworks that enable the creation of multi-platform desktop applications. Electron and NW.js were selected for comparison. The study was conducted using a test desktop application with social media functionality. The test application was developed on both compared platforms. The presented research results allowed to conclude that the NW.js framework is more efficient than the Electron framework.
