Is it possible to use the Web Audio API with SpiderMonkey or other standalone JavaScript engines? - V8 doesn't seem to support it.
Asking because I'm currently rendering audio artifacts in the browser with the Web Audio API, using OfflineAudioContext, but would like to perform that task in other contexts, outside the browser environment.
(A related question is: Can the WebGL canvas be accessed from a standalone JavaScript engine such as SpiderMonkey?)
The Web Audio API is a browser API and not a JavaScript feature. Therefore it's missing in SpiderMonkey or V8.
However there are some projects like audiojs/web-audio-api which allow you to use the same API (or parts of it) with Node.js.
There is also a fork of Chromium's Web Audio API implementation called LabSound.
And last but not least there is also a Rust implementation called web-audio-api-rs.
If all of that doesn't work for your use case you could also run Firefox or Chrome in headless mode controlled by Playwright or Puppeteer.

We're planning to build a Flutter web app that will need to be embedded within partners' websites (built with different web technologies). We have to use CanvasKit as rendering performance is important (it's a non-trivial component).
As far as I've researched, Web Components support is not available for Flutter for now (correct me if that's wrong). So the only method of embedding I can think of is an iframe. As CanvasKit relies on WebAssembly, I'm concerned about whether that will work as intended. So my question is this: is it possible to embed CanvasKit-based Flatter web apps within other (non-Flutter) web apps, and if so - does it have any downsides worth mentioning, compared to "typical" web apps (e.g., those built with React).
I have to decide strategically for my team whether to use Flutter for such a project or stick to a traditional web stack. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
I am currently writing a flutter project for the web that is embedded in the web via iframe. Everything works fine, at first it was difficult how to pass parameters inside flutter (to interact with the server (id / additional options etc)) solved this issue through query parameters in a web browser and get inside flutter through (GETX package Get.parameters['']).My opinion.... Before starting global development, write a simple project that could interact inside your site, embed in iframe and pass any parameters)
I am trying to create an ActiveXObject (to use FileSystemObject) but it's only supported in IE.
Is there a way I can make it work in Chrome or Firefox? I need to read all the files in a specific given folder, and list those.
Well, is there another way to do it?
ActiveX is only supported by IE - the other browsers use a plugin architecture called NPAPI. However, there's a cross-browser plugin framework called Firebreath that you might find useful.
No for the moment.
I doubt it will be possible for the future for ActiveX support will be discontinued in near future (as MS stated).
Look here about HTML Object tag, but not anything will be accepted. You should try.
ActiveX resolved in Chrome!
Hello all this is not the solution but the successful workaround and I have implemented as well.
This required some implementation on client machine as well that why is most suitable for intranet environment and not recommended for public sites. Even though one can implement it for public sites as well the only problem is end user has to download/implement solution.
Lets understand the key problem
Chrome cannot communicate with ActiceX
Solution: Since Chorme cannot communicate with ActiveX but still it can communicate with the API hosted on the client machine. So develop API using .Net MVC or any other technology so that through Ajax call it can communicate with the API and API communicate with the ActiveX object situated on the client machine. Since API also resides in Client machine that why there is no problem in communication. This API works as mediator between Chrome browser and ActiveX.
During API implementation you might encounter CORS issues, Use JSONP to deal with it.
Pictorial view of the solution
Other solution : Use URI Scheme like MailTo: or MS-Word to deal with outlook and word application. If your requirement is different then you can implement your customized URI Scheme.
ActiveX is supported by Chrome.
Chrome check parameters defined in : control panel/Internet option/Security.
Nevertheless,if it's possible to define four different area with IE, Chrome only check "Internet" area.
I have a requirement to create a browser plugin. It should be a cross-browser plugin. The look and feel is similar to, say, Ask toolbar. My browser plugin should be able to make calls (using Cisco call control). Internally we will handle that no issue in that. But what is required is that previously we developed website for handling calls, which used java applets to dynamically change the status {Example when there is an incoming call Answer button would get enabled}. Will I be able to achieve it in Browser plugin.
Can I be able to use browser plugin over applet?
Is there any replacement for Java applet in the browser plugin?
Please help me in making a dynamic browser plugin.
Update:
I am planning to go for Kango cross-browser extension Framework. I need to know if Kango or any other extension framework support a socket communication where it can listern for sever update.
Thanks.
Can I use WebSocket (supported in HTML5) in the browser Extension? I learned that WebSocket method could not communicate directly with ordinary server and it need some changes in the server as well.
Ref: Connect to standard socket using WebSocket
Is there any other way other than WebSocket ?
Is there any open source available for javascript library which uses flash player?
If it could be opensource it could be helpful.
Cross browser plugin can be developed using some extension development tools such as Cross Rider or kango . I feel that Cross rider provides good support.
If we are going for Java applet for socket communication, definitely we are ready to face some trouble. Better avoid Java applet.
Socket communication can be achieved in the Web browser using many ways. "Web Socket" is one of them. The only constrain in using it is that it is supported only in HTML5 supporting browser or browser version. IE give support to WebSocket from IE11 only.
Another way to go is using Socket.io . It is having a good way of achieving it by using the available techniques in the client browser. For Example, if the client browser do not have a Flash player (Flash supports socket communication), it uses WebSocket or it "fallback" to available technique supported in browser.
Even node.js is a light weight technique.
The challenge here is we could not communicate with server which support socket with a "websocket" client. We need a proxy, Ref: Connect to standard socket using WebSocket
Hope this should help who need some start on Web Socket communication. If anyone want to add to this I would be very happy.
The reason the web works is because you don't have to take a binary dependency each website. Probable the same reason that Flash and Silverlight are discouraged. Is using an custom SDK to consume a REST web service synonymous with using a plug in to view content?
Using an SDK to consume a REST web service is not synonymous with using a plugin to view content. It's more akin to using a browser engine written by someone else, rather than writing your own.
I have read through the chromiumembedded usage and looked at the cefclient application. Now i would like to provide my gwt application as an standalone application to my customers. Is it possible to package the gwt client code using chromiummebedded.
I am not sure how to make the RPC/RC calls to the server if its packaged in CEF.
I think you need to include an embedded webserver in your application, and serve the generated GWT application files from this.
Since the url for your server will be different, you could disable the same origin policy in ChromiumEmbedded to use normal RPC calls, but it might be better to use cross domain calls as describe in Googles tutorial
