AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime)

Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) is a software runtime environment that allows developers to create and run multimedia-rich applications across desktop operating systems like Windows and macOS. Using familiar web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and ActionScript, developers can build applications that work offline with native features like file access and system notifications. Essentially, AIR acts as a bridge, enabling apps to have desktop capabilities while using web-based programming tools, providing a flexible platform for delivering versatile, interactive software outside of web browsers.
