Hi All,
There is an API layer in WebKit/Gtk folder (although it is not
used by
GdkLauncher presently). It provides the GObject interfaces for
WebKitGtkFrame, WebKitGtkPage, etc. Great!
GdkLauncher creates a WebKitGtkPage and is using that. So the API is
used by the GdkLauncher, the Openmoko RSS Reader, midori can use it
as well.
+ Any idea, what are all the advantages of using these kind of
GObjects
instead of C++ class interfaces (Frame, Page classes).
Having a C/GObject API is great because you can easily bind it to
other languages (e.g. python)and it can be used by C Applications.
For some strange reasons most of the GNOME stack is still implemented
in C, so this is quite important.
+ And what classes are going to be added in future into this API
layer as
GObjects.
We aim for implementing what WebView [1] on OS X is offering. So if
you have need some feature, we will take a look at WebView and
consider how to map it to the Gtk+/GObject world.
