# GWT?

GWT or Google Web Toolkit is a Java to JavaScript Compiler created by Google. It outputs pure ES5, and doesn't require anything special in the browser to run. You can see it as TypeScript on steroids.

Some of the biggest Google projects are built with GWT, such as Google Docs, Inbox and AdWords.
