My understanding of NaCl is that it lacks this limitation. Such a wrapping of the SWORD library would permit it direct file system access and one of the warnings I've read is that you not permit your library or NaCl application to clog up a user's hard drive. Also that users be wary of what they install because the NaCl runs entirely outside of Chrome's sandbox and can access arbitrary data on the hard drive. That is, assuming you're talking about an NaCl Chrome plugin rather than an NaCl application run off a web page. If you're running it off a web page (if that's even possible?) then I have no knowledge of how that works. I had begun work on a pure-JavaScript Bible display application. But when it got to the point of deciding whether to store all my data in JavaScript (using WebDB/IndexDB) or wrap SWORD into an NaCl plugin I stalled. I would prefer the data be native in the JavaScript access using IndexDB (key-value store) or WebDB (SQLite) but wrapping SWORD would give access to its SWKey parsing and locales and would obviate the need to implement a different storage mechanism. (Storage space for a Chrome plugin is not limited to the 5MB if the plugin requests the unlimited space permission, so that wasn't an issue like it would be for a website). --Greg > > Let us know if you have any success! > > Troy > > > > > On 04/20/2012 04:03 PM, Stephan wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> has someone build SWORD for NaCl with success?
