Glue42 Core is a web application integration platform

Glue42 Core ·

Glue42 Core is a toolkit for integrating web applications. With the powerful interoperability and window management features of Glue42 Core you can enable multiple apps to share information between each other and unify them in streamlined coherent workflows.

Glue42 Core works in all modern browsers and focuses on use cases with Progressive Web Applications.

Features Overview

Interop Services

Glue42 Core exposes a rich set of interoperability methods which allow web applications to seamlessly communicate and interact with each other. The message exchange happens on the client, through a shared web worker process.

Window Management

Glue42 Core provides an abstraction layer on top of the standard browser window management APIs, which makes your app portable between Glue42 Core and Glue42 Enterprise. This allows you to create, close and manipulate browser/PWA windows.

Layout Persistence

Glue42 Core supports persistence of window layouts. Users can conveniently resume working on a task from the exact state in which they left it, saving time and effort to recreate the necessary layout of open apps and window arrangement.

For a more detailed look at all available features and functionalities, see the Glue42 Core Capabilities documentation.

Glue42 Enterprise Compatibility

If you need advanced window management or connectivity to native applications, you can run your app in the Glue42 Enterprise Desktop Client without any changes to your code.

To find out what advanced features and solutions Glue42 Enterprise offers, see the official Glue42 Enterprise product documentation.

React Bindings

In addition to the standard JavaScript API, the Interop methods are exposed through framework specific bindings for the most popular web frameworks, further facilitating the integration of Glue42 Core functionalities in your existing codebase. Currently, we have React bindings based on Hooks. Angular bindings will be available soon.
