This swapping of the throne will continue as the Mobile Web moves forward and evolves
—and that's a good thing. We want competition and standards progression. Mozilla is
no stranger to the evolution of the Mobile Web with its ambitious new project called
WebAPI (
https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI
)
. The WebAPI project is a set of APIs for
accessing device functionality usually accessible only for native applications. In sum‐
mary, it's an OS based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for mobile devices. It's yet another
effort to move the Web forward and enable developers to write web applications once
for all mobile operating systems. Estimated delivery for the WebAPI project is mid-2012
through the Boot to Gecko project (B2G).
