# Technical differences to NW.js (formerly node-webkit)
|
||||
|
||||
Like NW.js, atom-shell provides a platform to write desktop applications
|
||||
__Note: Electron was previously named Atom Shell.__
|
||||
|
||||
Like NW.js, Electron provides a platform to write desktop applications
|
||||
with JavaScript and HTML, and has Node integration to grant access to low level
|
||||
system in web pages.
|
||||
|
||||
But there are also fundamental differences between the two projects that make
|
||||
atom-shell a completely separate product from NW.js:
|
||||
Electron a completely separate product from NW.js:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Entry of application**
|
||||
__1. Entry of application__
|
||||
|
||||
In NW.js, the main entry of an application is a web page, you specify a
|
||||
main page in the `package.json` and it would be opened in a browser window as
|
||||
the application's main window.
|
||||
|
||||
While in atom-shell, the entry point is a JavaScript script, instead of
|
||||
While in Electron, the entry point is a JavaScript script, instead of
|
||||
providing a URL directly, you need to manually create a browser window and load
|
||||
html file in it with corresponding API. You also need to listen to window events
|
||||
to decide when to quit the application.
|
||||
|
||||
So atom-shell works more like the Node.js runtime, and APIs are more low level,
|
||||
you can also use atom-shell for web testing purpose like

In order to avoid the complexity of building the whole Chromium, Electron uses

|

includes the Chromium Content module and all its dependencies. So users don't
|

need a powerful machine to build atom-shell.

need a powerful machine to build Electron.
|

|

**3. Node integration**
|
||||
__3. Node integration__
|
||||
|
||||
In NW.js, the Node integration in web pages requires patching Chromium to
|
||||
work, while in atom-shell we chose a different way to integrate libuv loop to
|
||||
work, while in Electron we chose a different way to integrate libuv loop to
|
||||
each platform's message loop to avoid hacking Chromium, see the
|
||||
[`node_bindings`](../../atom/common/) code for how that was done.

If you are an experienced NW.js user, you should be familiar with the

concept of Node context and web context, these concepts were invented because

of how the NW.js was implemented.
