Engagement/Developer Engagement/WebAPI Plan: Difference between revisions

<h2>Summary</h2>

WebAPI is an effort by Mozilla to bridge together the gap, and have consistent APIs that will work in all web browsers, no matter the operating system. Specification drafts and implementation prototypes will be available, and it will be submitted to W3C for standardization. Security is a very important factor here, and it will be a mix of existing security measurements (e.g. asking the user for permission, like Geolocation) or coming up with new alternatives to ensure this.

For more information and a current list of WebAPIs being worked on, please see the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI WebAPI project page].
