Introduction to WebKit Plug-in Programming Topics
Web browser plug-ins are compiled bundles that help extend the content types supported by common web browsers. Installed locally on a computer, they can run code native to the user's operating system and provide a powerful way to expand on standard web content.
Who Should Read This Document
This document is designed for a number of different audiences:
●
If you are a Cocoa and WebKit developer, you should read about the plug-in architecture used by WebKit and learn how compiled plug-ins operate within WebKit-based applications, including Safari. If you are a developer who is concerned with cross-platform compatibility for your software, but who also wants to deploy special content via a web browser, you should read about the Netscape-based plug-in architecture and learn how it is supported in a variety of browsers. If you are a web content developer, you should read about both plug-in architectures and learn how to integrate their features into custom plug-ins to support your content.
