The WebView Basic Guide and more to come

The mission of CanIWebView and the WebView Community group is to provide everyone with good information on WebViews. I’m happy to announce The WebView Basic Guide as the starting point for everyone. It provides general guidance for all users and developers of WebViews. If you have something to add please submit an issue or PR for CanIWebView.

We’re not stopping there. The WebView CG added security to their work streams as well. We’re just getting started on documenting and threat modelling security for WebViews. This draft report will evolve into a best practices guide on WebView security. The next steps are drawing a good overview diagram of WebViews and their components, then proceed to do some threat modelling.

For this we need people with time and expertise so please join the conversation and the WebView CG if you’re interested.

CanIWebView started with compatibility. Now we add security, and accessibility should follow.
