The objective associated with online Applications performing Group (Web WG) would be to create requirements that facilitate the introduction of client-side web 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 calls is supposed to be held whenever needed. 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 for the online performing Group is:
- Haptic input products and their emitted occasions and/or data.
- Textual text and input manipulation.
- Information sharing across remote and web that is local.
- Acting and receiving upon data from remote sources.
- Accessing the file system and storage that is persistent.
- Interfacing with OS abilities.
- Integrating internet applications with all the OS.
The working group additionally maintains a specification for mapping HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs, and a split specification that describes writer conformance needs for setting ARIA characteristics. The performing Group will not expect you’ll include just about any specs with this matter.
Specs made by the internet Working Group make it possible for developers to generate internet applications that really work across a range that is wide of and products, as well as an extensive diversity of users, by handling matters of accessibility, unit freedom, internationalization, privacy, and safety.
Success Criteria
To be able to advance to Proposed Recommendation, each specification will need to have at the very least two separate implementations in wide usage.
Each specification will need to have a test that is accompanying, which 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, developers, or users, into the regions of accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and safety, each specification should have a part that defines appropriate advantages, limitations, and practice solutions that are best for the specific area.
Deliverables
Extra information about internet performing Group specs are located in the GitHub repository.
Normative Requirements
The Web performing Group will provide the after specifications that are normative.
| Specification | definition |
|---|---|
| File API | An API for representing objects that are file internet applications, in addition to programmatically choosing them and accessing their information. |
| Gamepad API | |
| Indexed Database API | An API for the database of documents keeping easy values and hierarchical things. The 3rd version adds brand new abilities and improves designer ergonomics by making use of claims. |
| Intersection Observer | An API which you can use to know the exposure and place 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 locking the goal of mouse occasions to an individual element and eliminating the cursor from view. |
| drive 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 screen orientation modifications, and securing display screen orientation to a state that is specific. |
| internet App Manifest | A JSON-based manifest file that delivers designers by having a central destination to place metadata connected with 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 authors to pick a percentage of the document or specify point of great interest for content, paste, and other modifying operations. |
| ContentEditable | granted values and expected 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 guidelines (writer conformance needs) for ARIA features on HTML elements. |
| UI Events | UI Activities 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 understood to be an element of the UI Events Specification. |
| UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values | The values when it comes to attribute that is key when you look at the UI occasions specification. |
WICG specs
With regards 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 documents and employees. |
| Web Share API | An API for sharing text, links as well as other content to an arbitrary location regarding the individual’s option. |
| internet Share Target | An API which allows web sites to declare on their own as internet share objectives, that could get shared 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 in a operating-system-specific destination from the application (like the rack or house display screen), for the true purpose of notifying the consumer if the state regarding the application changed ( e.g., whenever brand brand new communications have actually appeared), without showing a far more heavyweight notification. |
