Gears, formerly Google Gears, was software offered by Google that "enables more powerful web applications, by adding new features to the web browser. It allows some online files to be used offline".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gears )〕 Released under the BSD license,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google Code project for Gears )〕 Gears is free and open source software. In late November 2009, numerous online news sources reported that Google was going to migrate to Web Storage rather than use Gears in the future. A Google spokesman later clarified that Google would, however, continue to support Gears so as not to break sites using it. On 22 November 2011, Google announced that on 1 December 2011, Gears support would be removed from Gmail and Google Calendar. Gears was removed from Google Chrome stable on June 7, 2011. ==Components== There are several major API components to Gears: *A Database module (powered by SQLite), which can store data locally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database Module AI )〕 *A WorkerPool module, which provides parallel execution of JavaScript code.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WorkerPool Module API )〕 *A LocalServer module, which caches and serves application resources (HTML, JavaScript, images, etc.).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LocalServer Module API )〕 *A Desktop module, which lets web applications interact more naturally with the desktop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Desktop Module API )〕 *A Geolocation module, which lets web applications detect the geographical location of their users.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geolocation Module API )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gears (software)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
