QA/Browser Technologies/WebAPI

Overview

The Mozilla WebAPI team is aiming at providing all the necessary APIs to build a basic HTML5 phone experience within the next 3-6 months. Some of the APIs include:

Application Areas	Required APIs
Dialer	Web Telephony API, Web SMS API, Contacts API
Battery	Battery API
Address Book	Contacts API
Messaging and Video Chat	Web Telephony API, Web SMS API, Contacts API, WebRTC
Storage	File System API, IndexedDB API
Camera	Camera API, Camera Support for Desktop, Filesystem API
Settings and Status	Device Status API, Settings API
Games	Mouse Lock API, Vibrator API
Sensors	Accelerometer API, Block Orientation Change, Proximity Sensor, Compass, Light Sensor, Speech-to-Text, Joystick API, Joystick Rumble Support
Maps	Geolocation API, Contacts API
Apps	OWA API, DOM Crypt API, App-State API, App-Pin API, tab/app-modal popup API, Cross-Origin URI Load API, Full Window API, navigator.mozApps
Graphics	OpenCL, Animated Sprite API, Opacity Threshold API, CSS Tracer API, Native Resolution API, Fullscreen from Content API
Printing	WebPrint API
Audio	Sound Playback API (multishot)
Hardware Interfaces	WebUSB API, WebBluetooth API, DOM3 Keyboard Event types API, WebNFC API, Network Type API, Network Manager API, Sensor API
Security	Display Sleep/Screenlock API, BLOCK Display Sleep/Screenlock API, Allow loosening same-origin checks support

Mozilla will most likely not implement the FileSystem API. For local file access, we have implemented FileReader and plan to implement parts of the FileWriter specification. A file system abstraction can additionally be built on top of IndexedDB.
