Guacamole is an HTML5 web application that provides access to desktop
|
|
environments using remote desktop protocols (such as VNC or RDP). Guacamole
|
|
is also the project that produces this web application, and provides an API
|
|
that drives it. This API can be used to power other similar applications or
|
|
services.
|
|
|
|
As an API, Guacamole provides a common and efficient means of streaming text
|
|
data over a JavaScript-based tunnel using either HTTP or WebSocket, and a
|
|
client implementation which supports the Guacamole protocol and renders the
|
|
remote display when combined with a Guacamole protocol stream from the
|
|
tunnel.
|
|
|
|
It provides cross-browser mouse and keyboard events, an XML-driven on-screen
|
|
keyboard, and synchronized nestable layers with hardware-accelerated
|
|
compositing.
