I want to develop an ERP system, but I want it to run on a web browser. I want it to store data in an SQLite database, but I don’t want it to have to work as client/server, just local.
I also want to have access to environment variables and the filesystem. Ultimately I want to manipulate the DOM using C instead of JavaScript.
Is there a browser, framework or library for this?
As far as I know, it’s impossible to manipulate the DOM with any language other than JavaScript – since that is the only programming language which the browser will run.
I would try to think of one of the following:
1) Run a local web server – why shouldn’t you? I am not sure about C, but Python, Ruby, JS and many other languages make these extremely simple to set up.
2) Just write a GUI application, if you are really opposed to having another program running in the network.
3) If you’re not opposed to Python (instead of C), you can try out Pyjamas – a framework which allows you to code a web-app in Python, and use it as a desktop app later (without running the server). The non-server version won’t actually run inside a browser though (AFAIK – I’ve never tried it myself).
