Over the past few years, we have seen increased demand for the development of applications that leverage both web and native technologies to modernize native applications, iterate faster with web technologies, and more easily develop cross-platform.
At this year’s Build conference in May, we introduced the Win32 preview of the powered by the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser. A WebView is a modal that is embedded within a native application, and which renders web content (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) powered by the browser. Since launching our Win32 WebView2 preview, we have been and partners to collect a great deal of feedback, and delivering every six weeks.
To learn more about WebViews, how they work, and more about options like Evergreen (WebView content is rendered by the Microsoft Edge browser instance on the user’s computer) vs. Bring Your Own (WebView content is rendered by a separate instance of the Microsoft Edge browser downloaded with the application) check out our .
WebView2 API Sample
Recently, we built and launched a sample application (we call it ) using the WebView2 APIs to create an interactive application that demonstrates WebView2’s functionalities. The WebView2 API Sample is intended to be the most comprehensive guide available and will be updated regularly as we add more features to our SDK.
Notable features in our WebView2 API Sample are Navigation, Web Messaging (communication between the Win32 Host and the WebView), and Native Object Injection (accessing Win32 Objects directly from JavaScript).
You can build and play around with the WebView2 API Sample by downloading or cloning it from our . To learn more about the sample’s source code and functionality, read our . As you develop your own applications, we recommend referencing the source code for suggested API patterns for WebView2 workflows.
