The objective associated with internet Applications performing Group (Web WG) would be to create specs that facilitate the development 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 phone phone calls would be held whenever required. Face-to-face: we’re going to satisfy throughout the W3C’s yearly Technical Plenary week; additional meetings that are face-to-face be planned by permission of individuals. |
Range
The scope associated with the online performing Group is:
- Haptic input products and their emitted activities and/or
information. - Textual input and text manipulation.
- Information sharing across remote and web that is local.
- Receiving and acting upon information from remote sources.
- Accessing the file system and persistent storage space.
- Interfacing with OS abilities.
- 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 be prepared to include virtually any specs with this matter.
Requirements generated by the internet Working Group permit developers to generate web applications that really work across an extensive number of platforms and products, as well as a broad variety of users, by handling issues of accessibility, unit liberty, internationalization, privacy, and protection.
Success Criteria
Each specification must have at least two independent implementations in wide use in order to advance to Proposed Recommendation.
Each specification will need to have a test that is accompanying, that is preferably developed in parallel to your specification. The test suite shall be employed to create an execution report prior to the specification transitions to Proposed Recommendation.
Where you will find implications for implementors, designers, or users, when you look at the aspects of accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and safety, each specification should have an area that defines appropriate advantages, limits, and practice solutions that are best for the specific area.
Deliverables
More info about online performing Group specs are located in the GitHub repository.
Normative Requirements
The internet performing Group will provide the after specifications that are normative.
| Specification | definition |
|---|---|
| File API | An API for representing file things in internet applications, in addition to programmatically selecting 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 utilizing claims. |
| Intersection Observer | An API which can be used to comprehend the exposure and place of DOM elements (“targets”) relative to an element that is containing into the top-level viewport (“root”). |
| Pointer Lock | An API providing you with access that is scripted natural mouse movement information while securing the prospective of mouse activities to an individual element and eliminating the cursor from view. |
| drive API | An API for giving push communications to an internet application, via a push solution. |
| Screen Orientation API | An API for reading display orientation, being informed of display screen orientation modifications, and securing display orientation up to a state that is specific. |
| internet App Manifest | A JSON-based manifest file providing you with designers with a central spot to place metadata related to an internet application. |
| Clipboard API and Events | An API for accessing information regarding the operational system clipboard. |
| Input Occasions | |
| Selection API | APIs for selection, which enable users and writers to choose a percentage of a document or specify point of great interest for content, paste, along with other modifying operations. |
| ContentEditable | granted values and anticipated actions for the attribute that is contenteditable. |
| 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 guidelines (writer conformance demands) for ARIA attributes on HTML elements. |
| UI Events | UI Activities that extend the DOM Event objects defined when you look at the DOM specification. |
| UI Events KeyboardEvent code values | The values for the KeyboardEvent.code characteristic, 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 into the UI Activities specification. |
WICG specs
According to the WICG progress, the Group could also create W3C strategies for the documents that are following
| Specification | explanation |
|---|---|
| Cookie shop | An asynchronous Javascript snacks API for papers and workers. |
| online Share API | An API for sharing text, links as well as other content to a destination that is arbitrary of individual’s option. |
| Web Share Target | An API which allows web sites to declare on their own as internet share objectives, which could get provided content from either the Web Share API, or system occasions ( e.g., stocks from indigenous ). |
| Badging | An API permitting internet applications to create an application-wide badge, shown within an operating-system-specific spot from the application (like the rack or house display screen), for the intended purpose of notifying an individual once the state for the application changed ( e.g., when brand new communications have actually appeared), without showing an even more heavyweight notification. |
