Google has released a Native Client on the latest version of its Chrome web browser, Chrome 14; this Native Client was earlier launched in the beta version of Chrome last month.

This feature will give the option for the developers to safely run C and C++ code inside the web browser and it also comes along with the Google’s Web Audio API. Sources have informed that the Native Client was displayed as an open source project three years ago. However the project has been constructed in order to carry functionality that can’t be handled by JavaScript, like 3D games, video editing and other heavy apps that require a lot of speed.

The fact is that the Native Client is generally known as sandboxing technology which allows the developers run native code on the browser in a secure manner. This Native Client is available for the web browser via a plug-in called Pepper. Google’s head of the Native Client project Brad Chen told While JavaScript is a fabulous language and it just keeps getting better, there is a lot of great software that isn’t written in JavaScript, and there are a lot of software developers that are brilliant, but they would rather work in a different language.
