This page provides a brief overview of the Peregrine API to discuss terms and concepts before diving a bit deeper into the implementation details.

Peregrine has a library for web and a library for each native platform. The native library provides the Web Frame, which encapsulates the web view. Developers create remote interfaces and attach them to the Web Frame for web↔native communication. Remote interfaces comprise functions for request/response-style communication and observables for pub/sub-style communication. The implementation of this communication between web and native is often called the bridge.
