What is WebKit?

WebKit serves as a powerful, open-source web browser engine that drives applications like Safari, Mail, and the App Store on macOS, iOS, and Linux systems. It acts as the fundamental backbone for rendering web pages and executing JavaScript, thereby facilitating a smooth and enjoyable user experience. Developers are invited to participate in the project by reporting bugs or suggesting improvements to the codebase. Additionally, web developers have the opportunity to stay updated on WebKit’s advancements, track feature developments, and utilize Safari Technology Preview to experiment with the latest web technologies. The project emphasizes real-world compatibility, adherence to web standards, stability, performance, energy efficiency, security, privacy, portability, user accessibility, and the simplicity of code modifications. WebKit operates under the BSD 2-Clause license, while its WebCore and JavaScriptCore components are subject to the GNU Lesser General Public License. This collaborative model not only encourages participation but also drives continual innovation and enhancement within the web development community, allowing for a diverse range of contributions that can lead to even more robust web experiences. By fostering an open environment, WebKit enables developers to build better tools and applications that benefit users worldwide.
