For a long time, we've used two terms, inconsistently: - "Identifier" is a spec term, but refers to a sequence of alphanumeric characters, which may or may not be a keyword. (Keywords are a subset of all identifiers.) - "ValueID" is entirely non-spec, and is directly called a "keyword" in the CSS specs. So to avoid confusion as much as possible, let's align with the spec terminology. I've attempted to change variable names as well, but obviously we use Keywords in a lot of places in LibWeb and so I may have missed some. One exception is that I've not renamed "valid-identifiers" in Properties.json... I'd like to combine that and the "valid-types" array together eventually, so there's no benefit to doing an extra rename now.
Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibArchive: Archive file format support
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibAudio, LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
