HarmonyOSOpenHarmony

HarmonyOS, also known as HongmengOS, is a distributed operating system developed by Huawei. OpenHarmony is its open-source version, which serves as the foundation for HarmonyOS. The project was initiated by Huawei and later donated to the OpenAtom Foundation, a non-profit organization in China. OpenHarmony aims to provide a unified, cross-device operating system that can run on a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to smartwatches, smart TVs, and IoT devices. Its core principle is a distributed architecture, allowing seamless connectivity and resource sharing between different devices. This means applications can be developed once and deployed across various hardware with minimal adaptation. The system emphasizes features like microkernel design for enhanced security and performance, a declarative UI framework for easier development, and cross-device service capabilities. OpenHarmony's open-source nature encourages collaboration from developers worldwide, fostering innovation and customization. While Huawei's HarmonyOS is the commercial implementation, OpenHarmony provides the underlying framework and core technologies, enabling other manufacturers and developers to build their own device ecosystems upon it. The project's goal is to create a more interconnected and intelligent digital experience for users across diverse devices.
