For well over a year now Google hyping up something called a native client. This open source technology, which allows Web browser for running compiled native code. In other words this potential missing link between native applications and Web applications. And now finally getting baked into chrome.

As Google notes on their Chrome blog today, the latest beta version of chrome (version 14) has its own built-in client. Their implementation allows for c and C++ code to run inside a Web browser while maintaining security, which offers Web technologies like JavaScript.

Google Writes:

Native apps client use pepper, a set of interfaces that provide c and C++ bindings to HTML5. As a result, developers can now use their native code libraries and experience to deliver portable, high performance Web applications.

This work was a long time coming. He was in May 2010 that Google first started talking about their own client to Google i/o Conference. This past February, Google notes that own the customer becomes closer to reality when they announced a new SDK for developers to play around with this year, the i/o operations, the company once again the hope that it will be ready this year in the future of chrome.

While the native client, an open source project, it was heavily driven by Google. Not only do they have done much native client work by themselves, but they have already done most of the work for Peppers plugin API (PPAPI), which is the development of the Netscape plugin API (NPAPI), which the latest versions of Web browsers (except IE, of course, has its own technology). PPAPI offers better performance than an NPAPI PLUGIN, which is the key to improving your client work.

All this can add up to the next generation of Web applications, if the developers take advantage of the native client. Intensive code will now be executed on the local machine (native code) during in real time in the browser. This should lead to more Web-based gaming, media, etc.

Google also notes that the Web audio API is part of the 14 Chrome beta, this will also help with the development of immersive gaming done through your browser.
