Tauri is a polyglot and generic system that is very composable and allows engineers to make a wide variety of applications. It is used for building applications for Desktop Computers using a combination of Rust tools and HTML rendered in a Webview. Apps built with Tauri can ship with any number of pieces of an optional JS API / Rust API so that webviews can control the system via message passing. In fact, developers can extend the default API with their own functionality and bridge the Webview and Rust-based backend easily.
Tauri apps can have custom menus and have tray-type interfaces. They can be updated, and are managed by the user's operating system as expected. They are very small, because they use the system's webview. They do not ship a runtime, since the final binary is compiled from rust. This makes the reversing of Tauri apps not a trivial task.
Written in Typescript and packaged such that it can be used with npm, pnpm, and yarn, this library provides a node.js runner for common tasks when using Tauri, like yarn tauri dev. For the most part it is a wrapper around tauri-cli.

Electron is a popular framework for building cross-platform desktop applications with web technologies. Like Tauri, it allows developers to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create desktop apps. However, Electron applications tend to be larger in size compared to Tauri apps due to the inclusion of a full Chromium browser.
NW.js (previously known as node-webkit) is another framework for building desktop applications using web technologies. It is similar to Electron and Tauri in that it allows developers to create applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. NW.js provides more flexibility in terms of Node.js integration but, like Electron, can result in larger application sizes.
