Browser development

So you want to make a browser for WebX?
Thats great! more competition means better browsers for everyone.
There are some guidelines tho, see them in the document below.

Non standard features

Sometimes browsers want to add things not in the spec.
This is fine, there are some rules tho:

• No adding arbitrary web features to WebX (aka use any css syntax or normal html).
• Naming of features need to be approved by the WXWG.
• Prefixing, you must prefix the features, more info in the prefixing section

Prefixing

Prefixed features must appear in the browser.api in the lua v2 api as follows:

browser.api._{name}_{feature}

where:

• name - is the browser.agent
• feature - the name of the feature (we_use_this_type_of_naming)

Prefix feature use.
Lets say you add delete_system32 api inside browser
Then it should look like:

browser._{name}_delete_system32()

Choosing a lua engine

Which lua engine to use?
Well there it depends on use case and language.
Below are some recommendations based on current browsers.

	Fast	Small	Integrated	Async
JS	Wasmoon	Fengari	Fengari	Wasmoon
Other	Luau	Luau	Luau	Luau
