Webkit is a open source web browser engine. WPE (Web Platform for Embedded) is the reference implementation of Webkit for embedded devices.
WPE Webkit supports most web standards, leverages common libraries, and uses hardware acceleration to improve performance when possible.
WebKit facilitates creating local applications that use standard web-related technologies such as HTML5, WebGL, and JavaScript on embedded devices. It also allows users to browse the Internet from an embedded device.
With WPE Webkit, a browser can be used as GUI on embedded devices, allowing application developers to use standard web technologies.
