OpenSphere Electron
OpenSphere is typically deployed as a web application and loaded through a web browser, but some users may prefer to run it as a desktop application. Electron is a framework that allows OpenSphere to be bundled into a cross-platform desktop application.
Bundling OpenSphere into an Electron container provides a number of advantages over loading it with a web browser:
- More data can be loaded due to increased memory constraints.
- More servers can be used because CORS configuration is not required for access.
- A portable version can be used in environments with restricted user permissions (no modern web browser available and/or can't install software).
