| '''WebCore''' is a ] developed by ], and licensed under the ], to provide an ] ] for ]. It is one of the two primary components of the ] framework (the other being ]). | |||
| WebCore combines the ] ] layout engine developed by the ] project, with an adapter ] called ] (pronounced Quack). Apple created the KWQ adapter to replace KHTML's dependency on code from the ] and other KDE modules. KWQ also presents an ] ] to the ]-based KHTML rendering engine, allowing it to easily be referenced by ]-based applications. | |||
| Apple announced WebCore at the ] ] ] with the release of the ]. Later that day the developers submitted their changes to the KHTML library to the KDE project <ref>{{cite web | url=http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=104196912316326&w=2 | title=Fwd: Our changes to KHTML and KJS | author=Don Melton | date=January 7, 2003 | accessdate=2007-01-16 }}</ref>. Later, in June ], Apple further opened access to their ] (now ]) source code repository and ] bug database, its previously closed nature once being an obstacle to merging WebCore changes back into KHTML.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://dot.kde.org/1118138374/ | title=Apple Opens WebKit CVS and Bug Database | author=Daniel Molkentin | date=June 7, 2005 | work=KDE News | accessdate=2007-01-16}}</ref> | |||
| Since then, a number of projects have built on the WebCore library, porting it to other platforms like ] mobile or the cross-platform ] libraries, or adopting it for use in their own browsers like ]'s ] browser. | |||
| Although Mac developers can use WebCore to incorporate an HTML layout engine into their applications, Apple recommends the use of WebKit, which is included by default from Mac OS X version 10.2.7 onwards and whose interfaces are stable. | |||
