The browser part of mCaptcha is divided into three components.
- Glue code
- Widget program
- Proof-of-Work libraries(WebAssembly and JavaScript polyfill)
## Glue code
This is the code that links mCaptcha with your website's frontend code.
It creates an `iframe` containing the mCaptcha widget and injects the
received verification proof token into a hidden input field.
Support is available for various frameworks, see
[`mCaptcha/glue`](https://github.com/mCaptcha/glue) for the full list.
For frameworks without official support, a low-level library,
[`@mcaptcha/core-glue`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mcaptcha/core-glue),
can be used to implement support.
## Widget Program
This part is served by the mCaptcha backend. It fetches PoW config from
the backend, generates proof and submits it for verification. If
verification is successful, it sends a message containing the
verification proof token to the parent window, assuming it's loaded as
an `iframe`.

WebAssembly library which generates Proofs of Work for mCaptcha systems.
## Proof-of-Work(PoW) library
2021-03-11 10:37:50 +05:30
WebAssembly bindings([`mCaptcha/pow_wasm`](https://github.com/mCaptcha/pow_wasm)) are available for the main rust library([`mCaptcha/pow_sha256`](https://github.com/mCaptcha/pow_sha256)).
2021-03-11 10:37:50 +05:30
For browsers without support WebAssembly, a
polyfill([`pow_sha256-polyfill`](https://github.com/mCaptcha/pow_sha256-polyfill))
is available.
