`eframe` is the official framework library for writing apps using [`egui`](https://github.com/emilk/egui). The app can be compiled both to run natively (cross platform) or be compiled to a web app (using WASM).
`eframe` is a very thin crate that re-exports [`egui`](https://github.com/emilk/egui) and[`epi`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/epi) with thin wrappers over the backends.
`eframe` uses [`egui_web`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/egui_web) for web and [`egui_glium`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/egui_glium) or [`egui_glow`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/egui_glow) for native.
The default native backend for `eframe` is currently [`egui_glium`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/egui_glium), but you can try out the new [`egui_glow`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/egui_glow) backend by putting this in your `Cargo.toml`:
``` toml
eframe = { version = "*", default-features = false, features = ["default_fonts", "egui_glow"] }
`eframe` is not the only way to write an app using `egui`! You can also try [`egui-miniquad`](https://github.com/not-fl3/egui-miniquad) and [`egui_sdl2_gl`](https://github.com/ArjunNair/egui_sdl2_gl).
## Companion crates
Not all rust crates work when compiles to WASM, but here are some useful crates have been designed to work well both natively and as WASM:
The _frame_ in `eframe` stands both for the frame in which your `egui` app resides and also for "framework" (`frame` is a framework, `egui` is a library).
