Spotify desktop app is developed with javascript?

Question

I have used Spotify for some time now and I thought it was a 100% native desktop app til I saw a HTTP request error inside the application.

So that makes me wondering if Spotify is developed with javascript using frameworks like Titanium.

Anyone knows?

Answer 1

It uses a web browser component for certain portions (content areas), many larger apps with dynamic content do this...but it is a native app, not written completely in JavaScript.

Doing it this way provides more flexibility and ability to make changes without a client code update.

Answer 2

Spotify uses chromium embedded. So actually the Spotify desktop application wraps a chrome browser so to say.

Answer 5

No it's not developed in Javascript, it uses an internal html-like (but not so like) framework for the web content, and its proprietary, probably because it tightly integrated with the content backend, which is proprietary due to legal rights.
