The objective of this online Applications performing Group (Web WG) would be 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 calls will undoubtedly be held whenever required. Face-to-face: we are going to fulfill through the W3C’s yearly Technical Plenary week; extra meetings that are face-to-face be planned by permission of individuals. |
Range
The range regarding the internet performing Group is:
- Haptic input products and their emitted activities and/or information.
- Textual text and input manipulation.
- Information sharing across remote and neighborhood internet applications.
- Getting and acting upon information from remote sources.
- Accessing the file system and persistent storage space.
- Interfacing with OS capabilities.
- Integrating internet applications because of the OS.
The working group additionally keeps a specification for mapping HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs, and a split specification that describes writer conformance demands for establishing ARIA characteristics. The performing Group will not expect you’ll include any kind of specs concerning this matter.
Requirements created by the online Working Group allow developers to produce web applications that work across a range that is wide of and products, as well as a diverse variety of users, by handling issues of accessibility, unit self-reliance, internationalization, privacy, and safety.
Success Criteria
Each specification must have at least two independent implementations in wide use in order to advance to Proposed Recommendation.
Each specification need a test that is accompanying, that will be preferably developed in parallel to your specification. The test suite shall be employed to produce an execution report ahead of the specification transitions to Proposed Recommendation.
Where you will find implications for implementors, designers, or users, within the aspects of accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and safety, each specification will need to have a part that defines appropriate advantages, restrictions, and most readily useful training solutions for the specific area.
Deliverables
Extra information about online performing Group requirements are available in the GitHub repository.
Normative Specs
The internet Working Group will provide the after specifications that are normative.
Specification | definition |
---|---|
File API | An API for representing file things in internet applications, along with programmatically choosing them and accessing their information. |
Gamepad API | |
Indexed Database API | An API for the database of documents keeping easy values and hierarchical items. The edition that is third 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 place of DOM elements (“targets”) general to a containing element or into the top-level viewport (“root”). |
Pointer Lock | An API providing you with access that is scripted natural mouse movement information while securing the goal of mouse activities to just one element and getting rid of the cursor from view. |
Push API | An API for giving push communications to an internet application, with a push solution. |
Screen Orientation API | An API for reading display screen orientation, being informed of display orientation modifications, and securing display screen orientation up to a state that is specific. |
online App Manifest | A JSON-based manifest file that delivers designers with a central destination to place metadata connected with an internet application. |
Clipboard API and Events | An API for accessing information regarding the operational system clipboard. |
Input Activities | |
Selection API | APIs for selection, which enable users and writers to pick a percentage of a document or specify point of great interest for copy, paste, as well as other modifying operations. |
ContentEditable | granted values and anticipated habits for the contenteditable feature. |
HTML Accessibility API Mappings (AAM) | Defines how user agents map HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs. |
ARIA in HTML | Defines the internet developer guidelines (writer conformance demands) for ARIA attributes on HTML elements. |
UI Events | UI Activities that increase the DOM Event objects defined into 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 when it comes to attribute that is key in the UI occasions specification. |
WICG specifications
With regards to the WICG progress, the Group might also create W3C suggestions for the following documents:
Specification | explanation |
---|---|
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. |
internet Share Target | An API which allows internet sites to declare themselves as internet share goals, that may get provided content from either the Web Share API, or system occasions ( e.g., stocks from indigenous ). |
Badging | An API allowing internet applications to create an application-wide badge, shown within an operating-system-specific destination linked to the application (for instance the rack or house display screen), for the intended purpose of notifying an individual once the state associated with the application changed ( e.g., whenever brand new communications have actually appeared), without showing an even more notification that is heavyweight. |
