tauri-wire is a tool that makes data communication faster and smaller for applications built with Tauri. Instead of using slow methods like JSON, it uses a special way to send and receive data quickly. This helps apps work better when they exchange lots of information all the time.
It speeds up data handling by more than 28 times and shrinks the data size by almost half. This means your apps will respond faster and use less internet or system resources.
- Works with Tauri apps for fast internal messaging.
- Handles continuous streams of data smoothly.
- Reduces the size of messages exchanged.
- Speeds up the process of encoding and decoding data.
- Uses Rust programming for reliability and performance.
- Compatible with TypeScript and web technologies.
- Supports zero-copy design to save memory.
- Windows 10 or higher (64-bit recommended)
- 4 GB RAM minimum
- At least 100 MB free disk space
- Internet connection for downloading the software
- No special software or programming knowledge needed
Follow these steps to set up tauri-wire on your Windows computer.
Click the big blue button below or open this link in your web browser:
This link takes you to the GitHub page where you can find the files needed to run tauri-wire.
Once on the page, look for the menu or section called Releases. This is usually on the right side of the page or under the "Code" tab.
Click the most recent release (it will have the highest version number and latest date).
Inside the release page, locate the Windows executable file. It should have a name ending with .exe. The name might include "win" or "windows".
Click on the .exe file to download it to your computer.
- Find the downloaded file in your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the
.exefile. - If Windows asks, allow the app to make changes by clicking Yes.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation.
- Choose the default settings unless you want to pick a different folder for installation.
After installation finishes, look for the tauri-wire app icon on your desktop or in the Start menu.
Click it to open the program.
tauri-wire works behind the scenes in apps that use Tauri for communication between parts of the program. You do not need to do anything special once it is installed. Apps that support tauri-wire will use it automatically to speed up data exchange.
If you are using an app built with tauri-wire, you will notice faster responses and smoother interactions when data flows continuously.
- Binary Framing Protocol: This means tauri-wire packages data in a way machines can read faster than text formats like JSON.
- High Frequency Data Streams: It works well when apps need to send information many times per second, such as real-time updates.
- Zero-Copy: It uses computer memory efficiently without making extra copies of data.
- Tauri IPC Compatible: It improves message passing in apps created with Tauri, a popular tool for building desktop apps.
No. If you are running an app that uses tauri-wire, the app handles everything. You will just notice the app working faster.
Yes. Use Windows Settings to uninstall the program like any other app.
It is designed for Windows 10 and later. Older versions might not work properly.
No. It only works inside your computer as part of supported apps. It does not send data online by itself.
- If the app won’t open, make sure your Windows is up to date.
- If the download is slow, try a different internet connection.
- If the installer gives a security warning, confirm it is from GitHub to proceed.
- Restart your computer if you experience any crashes.
While this guide is for end users, developers can use tauri-wire to replace JSON messaging in Tauri’s IPC. This leads to better performance in their applications.
