<h2>Summary</h2>
<h2>Summary</h2>
WebAPI is an effort by Mozilla to bridge together the gap, and have consistent APIs that will work in all web browsers, no matter the operating system. Specification drafts and implementation prototypes will be available, and it will be submitted to W3C for standardization. Security is a very important factor here, and it will be a mix of existing security measurements (e.g. asking the user for permission, like Geolocation) or coming up with new alternatives to ensure this.
Firefox is Mozilla's web browser, available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android. Future plans for Firefox as a product is available in the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap Firefox Roadmap], and for the Web Platform, implemented in the Gecko layout engine, in the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/Roadmap Web Platform Roadmap].
 
WebAPI also ties in with Mozilla's [https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G Boot to Gecko initiative] to ensure all phone functionality is being made available through APIs.
 
For more information and a current list of WebAPIs being worked on, please see the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI WebAPI project page].
