The main goal for our work in this area is to ensure that the Web Platform is an excellent run-time for Apps. This entails, at a high level, building a cross platform Web Runtime (we're calling this WebRT) by: | |||
* Taking existing web rendering engines (Gecko/Webkit) as a base. | |||
* Adding native OS integration features for things such as installing, launching, managing Apps. | |||
* Adding additional capabilities such as device APIs, permissioning models, improving offline execution of Apps etc. | |||
* Integrating services directly into the run-time such as Identity, Sync, Notifications etc. | |||
By basing WebRT off existing web rendering engines, we also automatically get all the awesome work (such as performance improvements) for "free". | |||
For a detailed description of WebRT and its roadmap, see the WebRT page. | |||
