Linked to dxr for the Firefox implementation docs.
<i>This [https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/server/docs protocol is implemented in Firefox], and is the basis of Firefox's built-in JavaScript debugger. You can use the [https://github.com/jimblandy/DebuggerDocs GitHub DebuggerDocs repo] to draft and discuss revisions.</i>
The Mozilla debugging protocol allows a debugger to connect to a browser, discover what sorts of things are present to debug or inspect, select JavaScript threads to watch, and observe and modify their execution. The protocol provides a unified view of JavaScript, DOM nodes, CSS rules, and the other technologies used in client-side web applications. The protocol ought to be sufficiently general to be extended for use with other sorts of clients (profilers, say) and servers (mail readers; random XULrunner applications).
