# How does it work?

|
|
|

|
|
There is a rust backend based [Actix], consisting of two actors:
|
||
|
|
* `Websocket` implements a websocket that speaks the [Terminado] protocol
|
||
|
|
* `Terminal` handles communication to a child spawned on a PTY using [tokio-pty-process].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The frontend is a static HTML page served by [actix-web][Actix] providing an [xterm.js] UI.
