@openfin/core-web

@openfin/core-web enables interoperability and layouts within a web browser. It is intended to be used by both content and platform developers to create integrated experiences which leverage OpenFin's existing interoperability APIs.

This package relies on the type definitions found in @openfin/core which is a required peer dependency.
