Features
Hardware Accelerated and Off-Screen Rendering
JxBrowser supports two rendering modes: hardware accelerated and off-screen. In the off-screen rendering mode Chromium™ engine renders web page off-screen using CPU. In the hardware accelerated rendering mode the engine renders content into a native window embedded into your Java application using GPU. Learn more.
Bidirectional JavaScript-Java Bridge
You can execute JavaScript code on the loaded web page and return the result of the execution to the Java side. You can work with JavaScript objects directly from Java. You can inject Java objects into JavaScript and work with Java objects from JavaScript. See example.
Navigation Events
You can listen to different navigation events such as navigation started, finished, failed, redirected, frame load finished, etc. See guide.
DOM Access
You can find required HTML elements by tag name or ID, get/set HTML element attributes,
listen to different DOM events such as click, mousedown,
keydown, keyup, load, unload etc.
See guide.
JavaScript Dialogs
You can handle JavaScript dialogs such as alert, confirmation, prompt, beforeunload, and file upload. You can choose whether a JavaScript dialog should be displayed or not and what the dialog should look like. Read more about dialogs.
Saving a Web Page
The library allows you to save the loaded web page as a set of files. See example.
ARM Support
Due to the support of the ARM architecture on Linux 64-bit, JxBrowser can be used across wide variety of devices using this type of microchips. Read more.
Accurate Web Display
The component displays web pages using Chromium engine. Because of this web pages will look exactly as in Google Chrome™.
HTML to Bitmap
JxBrowser allows getting image representation of the loaded web page including the hidden scrollable area. The image can be saved in PNG, JPEG and other graphic formats. See example.
Cookies
You can access all the cookies including secure and HTTP-only ones, delete specific cookie or create a new one. See guide.
Keyboard & Mouse Events Filter
You can filter all keyboard and mouse events before they are passed to a web page. See example.

User-agent
With JxBrowser you can set your own user-agent for each Browser instance. See example.

The library allows handling basic, digest, NTML, and Proxy authentications as well as authentication through SuisseID and U2F devices. Learn more.
Displaying Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc.
JxBrowser allows you to play video and audio content from the streaming web services that use DRM decryption. Read more.
Web Standards
JxBrowser supports all the modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. In general JxBrowser supports the same web standards as Google Chrome.
Printing
You can print the currently loaded web page or save it as PDF document via Print Preview dialog. Read more in the guide.
File Downloads
You can handle file downloads and control whether a file should be downloaded or not. You can also receive notifications about download progress, speed, completion percentage, received bytes etc. See example.
Proxy Settings
You can configure each Engine instance to use its own proxy settings. Various
configurations are supported: auto detect proxy, manual proxy configuration for HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP, SOCKS protocols, direct proxy, proxy auto configuration files. See guide.
Pop-ups
All pop-up windows can be handled. It is you who decides whether a pop-up window should be displayed or not and how exactly you want it to be displayed (e.g. in a separate window, in your application tab etc.). See guide.
Filtering URLs
The library allows you to handle navigation requests and ignore them when it's necessary. See example.
Zooming
You can zoom in, zoom out a web page or set your own zoom level for the currently loaded web page. Zoom level is configured for each domain separately. See guide.

How is a Project License bound to my project?
Project License is bound to a package of your project. When you purchase a Project license we will ask you to provide the name of the package where you make calls to the library’s API. The package name is expected to be in the com.company.product.module format.
What’s the definition of “project” in terms of the Project License?
When we say “project” we have in mind one product of your company including your future product versions or potential derivative works based on your product.
Will we be able to use the Project License in another project we do?
The Project License is tied to one project only.
We’d like a license for multiple projects for a team of developers, what would you offer?
The best solution would be to purchase the Company–wide License, which covers any number developers and projects in one company.

Yes, you can purchase JxBrowser Source Code License; it is provided on a per developer basis. Please contact our sales team if you are interested in this option.
