The Curl Run Time Environment

Delivered free to any user, The Curl Run Time Environment (RTE) is the engine that executes Curl applications and renders code, content and graphics on client machines.

The Key to Enterprise-scale Rich Internet Applications

Curl applications are compiled to native machine code, ensuring the highest possible performance. Unlike conventional web applications, Curl applications leverage graphics cards, sound cards and other hardware and drivers to deliver the robust performance typically associated only with client-server applications.

The Curl RTE delivers:

Full Multimedia support Includes 2D and 3D graphics libraries, scripting of event-based interactions, support for dynamic animations and audio data
High security Offers flexible and reliable privilege-based security features
Unmatched connectivity Supports all standard networking protocols and server-side architectures and protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, XML, cookies, TCP/IP, SOAP, Unicode, PHP, J2EE, .Net
Just-in-time compiler Compiles Curl content language applications into native code that executes with the full performance of the client machine
Declarative and elastic graphical layouts Layouts can be described declaratively, as in HTML. Layouts also adapt elastically to the size of the window in which they are displayed, so users can size their browser windows as they prefer
Integrated controls, dialogs, and layout objects Provides all the capabilities of HTML controls and HTML forms, and more
