The objective of this online Applications performing Group (Web WG) is always to produce 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 is going to be held whenever required. Face-to-face: we shall fulfill throughout the W3C’s yearly Technical Plenary week; extra face-to-face conferences may be planned by permission of individuals. |
Range
The scope for the online 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.
- Acting and receiving upon information from remote sources.
- Accessing the file system and persistent storage space.
- Interfacing with OS abilities.
- Integrating internet applications using the OS.
The group that is working keeps a specification for mapping HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs, and a split specification that describes author conformance needs for establishing ARIA characteristics. The performing Group will not expect you’ll add just about any specs with this matter.
Specs generated by the online Working Group permit developers to produce internet applications that really work across a range that is wide of and products, as well as an extensive variety of users, by handling things of accessibility, unit freedom, 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 should have an accompanying test suite, which will be preferably developed in parallel into the specification. The test suite will be employed to create an execution report ahead of the specification transitions to Proposed Recommendation.
Where you can find implications for implementors, developers, or users, into the regions of accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and protection, each specification will need to have a part that defines relevant advantages, restrictions, and practice solutions that are best for that specific area.
Deliverables
More info about online performing Group requirements 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, along with programmatically selecting them and accessing their information. |
| Gamepad API | |
| Indexed Database API | An API for a database of documents keeping simple values and hierarchical items. The edition that is third brand brand new abilities and improves designer ergonomics by making use of claims. |
| Intersection Observer | An API which can be used to comprehend the presence 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 raw mouse movement information while securing the prospective of mouse activities to an individual element and getting rid of the cursor from view. |
| Push API | An API for giving push communications to an internet application, using a push solution. |
| Screen Orientation API | An API for reading display screen orientation, being informed of display orientation modifications, and securing display orientation up to a certain state. |
| online App Manifest | A JSON-based manifest file providing you with designers by having a central destination to place metadata connected with a internet application. |
| Clipboard API and Events | An API for accessing information from the operational system clipboard. |
| Input Activities | |
| Selection API | APIs for selection, which allow users and writers to pick a percentage of a 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 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 internet developer guidelines (writer conformance needs) for ARIA features on HTML elements. |
| UI Events | UI occasions that increase the DOM Event objects defined when you look at the DOM specification. |
| UI Events KeyboardEvent code values | The values for the KeyboardEvent.code feature, which can be thought as area of the UI Events Specification. |
| UI Events KeyboardEvent key Values | The values for the attribute that is key into the UI Activities specification. |
WICG specs
With regards to the WICG progress, the Group could also create W3C tips for the after documents:
| Specification | explanation |
|---|---|
| Cookie shop | An asynchronous Javascript snacks API for papers and workers. |
| internet Share API | An API for sharing text, links as well as other content to an arbitrary location regarding the user’s option. |
| online Share Target | An API which allows 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 in a operating-system-specific spot linked to the application (like the rack or house display), for the intended purpose of notifying an individual if the state associated with application has changed ( ag e.g., whenever new communications have actually appeared), without showing a far more notification that is heavyweight. |
