You can now compile your #JavaFX web apps to #WebAssembly with WebFX and even write them in #Kotlin thanks to its new #TeaVM support. More info in our blog below, including live demos! 🔥 blog.webfx.dev/2025/11/17/tea…

@javasunsFX The author said "it is just a fun project for practicing purpose with lots of unfinished things". Not many devs go beyond standard layouts, not knowing javafx allows writing our own, a powerful feature for responsive design, as explained in the "Responsive" card on our website.

@phidias51 @justinfagnani For these 2 reasons (TeaVM cannot transpile JavaFX and WASM cannot access the DOM), it is not true that JavaFX compiles to WASM, at this time of writing.

@phidias51 @justinfagnani Also, WASM has a serious limitation: it cannot access the DOM. There is a trick to give it a canvas, but that's it. So transpiling an entire JavaFX app into a pure WASM code (with no JS) that would map the JavaFX scene graph into DOM is impossible mission today.

@phidias51 @justinfagnani The website you mentioned clearly states that JavaFX doesn't compile in the browser (actually it does now with WebFX). TeaVM cannot transpile all Java apps (same with GWT, J2CL, etc...). In particular, it cannot transpile any JavaFX app, because JavaFX is not TeaVM compatible.

@phidias51 @justinfagnani It uses SnapKit, not JavaFX. As far as we know, WebFX is the only JavaFX transpiler. We may support WASM in the future, but saying JavaFX compiles to WASM is incorrect today.

@gochev The JavaFX controls supported so far are listed in our roadmap which is located in our README: github.com/webfx-project/… (read the roadmap comments). We will add a demo link to these controls soon. For complex controls, we will first provide lighter alternatives in WebFX Extras.

WebFX now supports WebGL. This means that you can program a JavaFX canvas with a WebGL context in the browser. Here is a live demo: cube.webfx.dev #WebGL #WebFX #JavaFX

@orango_mango @dlemmermann @SystemsInCode @HydraulicDev Yes, that's what fxlauncher & getdown do, and I guess also the solutions mentioned by @dlemmermann, they download the latest jar from an alternative app store (or your own server). I don't know if there are solutions that work also with native JavaFX apps compiled with Gluon.

The #webfx Fetch API allows you to query web services (text, json, etc...). Fully cross-platform => your code will run on all supported platforms (desktops, servers, mobiles & browser) like illustrated by this #javafx chess game running in the browser (congrats @orango_mango).

@SystemsInCode @orango_mango Confining users to a specific platform doesn't seem a modern approach. JavaFX desktop apps can have instant updates via fxlauncher or getdown (we have one in prod still working like a charm today!). No equivalent with modern app stores yet => in-app msg seems the only option...🤷‍♂️
