The objective associated with the Web Applications performing Group (Web WG) is always to create specs that facilitate the introduction of client-side internet applications.
| Start date | 14 May 2019 |
|---|---|
| End date | 31 May 2021 |
| Chairs | LГ©onie Watson (TetraLogical), Marcos CГЎceres (Mozilla) |
| Team Contacts | Xiaoqian Wu (0.1 FTE ) |
| Meeting Schedule | Teleconferences: topic-specific telephone phone calls may be held when required. Face-to-face: we’re going to satisfy through the W3C’s yearly Technical Plenary week; extra face-to-face conferences may be planned by permission of individuals. |
Range
The range associated with online performing Group is:
- Haptic input products and their emitted occasions and/or information.
- Textual text and input manipulation.
- Information sharing across remote and web that is local.
- Acting and receiving upon information from remote sources.
- Accessing the file system and storage that is persistent.
- Interfacing with OS abilities.
- Integrating internet applications aided by the OS.
The group that is working maintains a specification for mapping HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs, and a split specification that describes writer conformance needs for establishing ARIA characteristics. The performing Group will not be prepared to include any kind of specs concerning this matter.
Specs made by the Web Working Group permit developers to generate internet applications that really work across a broad range of platforms and products, as well as for an easy diversity of users, by handling issues of accessibility, unit independency, internationalization, privacy, and safety.
Success Criteria
So that you can advance to Proposed Recommendation, each specification should have at the least two separate implementations in wide usage.
Each specification should have an accompanying test suite, that will be preferably developed in parallel towards the specification. The test suite will be employed to create an execution report prior to the specification transitions to Proposed Recommendation.
Where you can find implications for implementors, designers, or users, within the regions of accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and protection, each specification should have an area that defines appropriate advantages, limits, and most readily useful training solutions for that specific area.
Deliverables
More info about internet performing Group requirements are available in the GitHub repository.
Normative Specs
The internet performing Group will provide the after specifications that are normative.
| Specification | explanation |
|---|---|
| File API | An API for representing file things in internet applications, along with programmatically picking them and accessing their information. |
| Gamepad API | |
| Indexed Database API | An API for a database of documents keeping easy values and hierarchical things. The 3rd version adds brand brand brand new abilities and improves designer ergonomics by making use of claims. |
| Intersection Observer | An API which you can use to comprehend the exposure and position of DOM elements (“targets”) general to a containing element or to your top-level viewport (“root”). |
| Pointer Lock | An API providing you with scripted usage of natural mouse movement information while securing the prospective of mouse occasions to just one element and eliminating the cursor from view. |
| drive API | An API for giving push communications to a internet application, via a push solution. |
| Screen Orientation API | An API for reading display orientation, being informed of display orientation changes, and securing display screen orientation to a state that is specific. |
| internet App Manifest | A JSON-based manifest file that provides designers by having a central destination to put metadata related to an internet application. |
| Clipboard API and Events | An API for accessing information in the system clipboard. |
| Input Occasions | |
| Selection API | APIs for selection, which enable users and writers to choose a percentage of the document or specify a true point of great interest for content, paste, as well as other modifying operations. |
| ContentEditable | granted values and anticipated habits for the contenteditable characteristic. |
| HTML Accessibility API Mappings (AAM) | Defines exactly exactly how user agents map HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs. |
| ARIA in HTML | Defines the net designer rules (writer conformance demands) for ARIA features on HTML elements. |
| UI Events | UI occasions that increase the DOM Event objects defined within the DOM specification. |
| UI Events KeyboardEvent code values | The values for the KeyboardEvent.code feature, which will be thought as area of the UI Events Specification. |
| UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values | The values for the key characteristic defined when you look at the UI occasions specification. |
WICG requirements
With respect to the WICG progress, the Group could also create W3C strategies for the documents that are following
| Specification | definition |
|---|---|
| Cookie shop | An asynchronous Javascript snacks API for papers and employees. |
| online Share API | An API for sharing text, links along with other content to an arbitrary location associated with the individual’s choice. |
| online Share Target | An API which allows web sites to declare by themselves as internet share goals, which could get provided content from either the Web Share API, or system activities ( e.g., stocks from indigenous ). |
| Badging | An API enabling internet applications to create an application-wide badge, shown in a operating-system-specific spot linked to the application (like the rack or home display screen), for the true purpose of notifying the consumer if the state of this application changed ( e.g., whenever brand new communications have actually appeared), without showing a far more notification that is heavyweight. |
