Cross-platform
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
In computing, cross-platform (or multi-platform) is an attribute of computer software or computing methods and concepts that are implemented and inter-operate on multiple computer platforms.
Description
The software and methods are also said to be platform independent.
Types of cross-platform software
Cross-platform software may be divided into two types:
- Software which requires individual building or compilation for each platform that it supports
- Software which can be directly run on any platform without special preparation, e.g., software written in an interpreted language or pre-compiled portable bytecode for which the interpreters or run-time packages are common or standard components of all platforms.
