Welcome to the serial wiki!
The Serial is a suggested API that would provide a way for websites to to read and write from a serial device through JavaScript.
The idea behind it is to bridge the web and the physical world, and communicate with devices such as Arduinos, 3D printers, and other Serial devices. This is currently only available to desktop apps, or to websites through the use of insecure and outdated technologies (Java Applets, NPAPI plugins).
The Serial API could be implemented using the [https://github.com/wjwwood/serial serial] library by wjwwood, also used in ROS. It's a very good, open-source, stable C++ library with a clear documentation, and it's MIT-licensed.
