As Google phases out Native Client (NaCl), the web development landscape evolves toward more
scalable,
secure, and cross-browser solutions.
WebAssembly (WASM) is at the forefront of this transformation, delivering superior performance and
flexibility. Future-proof your applications by adopting WASM
and modern web standards today.
Native Client (NaCl) once enabled high-performance native code in browsers, but its limitations, restricted browser support and a lack of long-term viability led to its deprecation. WebAssembly (WASM) emerges as the superior alternative, offering unmatched cross-browser compatibility, enhanced security, and optimized performance for modern web applications.
Native Client (NaCl) was once a powerful tool for running native code in the browser, but its Chrome dependency and limited adaptability made it obsolete. WebAssembly (WASM) is the future offering superior performance, security, and cross-browser compatibility.
Feature | Native Client (NaCl) | WebAssembly (WASM) |
---|---|---|
Browser Support | Exclusive to Chrome | Universal support (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.) |
Performance | High but restricted to Chrome | Near-native execution across all modern browsers |
Security | Secure but confined to Chrome’s ecosystem | Industry-standard security with sandboxing and memory safety |
Cross-Platform Compatibility | Limited to Chrome users | Seamlessly runs across all devices and operating systems |
Language Support | Primarily C/C++ | Supports multiple languages (C, C++, Rust, Go, Python, etc.) |
Moving from NaCl to WebAssembly empowers businesses with enhanced scalability, security, and
performance
ensuring
seamless user experiences and future-ready applications.
WASM works across all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), unlike NaCl, which was Chrome-only.
Delivers near-native speed for high-performance apps like games and data tools.
Built on modern web standards for better security across all browsers.
Compatible with all devices and operating systems, ensuring wider reach.
Evolving technology backed by major browser vendors for future growth.
At Codimite, we recognized the limitations of NaCl early on and started transitioning to WebAssembly to
ensure
our solutions were scalable, secure, and widely accessible. Here’s how we did it:
We migrated legacy NaCl apps to
WebAssembly for cross-browser
compatibility.
Leveraged WASM’s capabilities to
speed up data processing and
multimedia features.
Built on modern security
standards for a safer user
experience.
Worked closely with teams to ensure a smooth, future-proof
transition.
Upgrade from NaCl to WebAssembly for enhanced performance, security, and cross-platform
compatibility.
Let us simplify your transition with modern, scalable web solutions.
