==WorldWind Java== The original recipe for WorldWind was restricted to Windows, relying on the [[Microsoft .NET|.NET]] libraries and [[DirectX]]. A new [[Software development kit|SDK]] version has been developed in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] with [[Java OpenGL|JOGL]] referred to as WorldWind Java. The latest version (2.2.0) was released in August 2020. This new version has an [[API]]-centric architecture with functionalities 'off-loaded' to modular components, leaving the API at the core. This makes WorldWind itself a plugin, so that it can be used as interchangeably as possible (for example via [[Python (programming language)|Python]]). This refactoring exercise allows WorldWind to be accessed via a browser as a Java Applet. A preview of the WorldWind Java SDK<ref>{{cite web|url=http://goworldwind.org/demos/|title=Demos|work=goworldwind.org|access-date=2011-08-26|archive-date=2011-10-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111016052433/http://goworldwind.org/demos/|url-status=dead}}</ref> was released on May 11, 2007 during Sun Microsystem's annual [[JavaOne]] conference. Since WWj is an SDK, there is no single application; instead there are any number of applications using WWj, each with different functionalities, created by government agencies and commercial developers from around the world. These applications include simple virtual globe viewers, satellite tracker, [[GIS]] platforms, photo editor, F-16 simulator, mission planning software and many more. === Android and the Web === NASA has since released WorldWind Android and Web WorldWind, two SDKs for the [[Android OS]] and the JavaScript-based [[web app]]s. Like WWj, there is no single application for the versions.
