A WebView is a web browser that is embedded within an app. Thus a WebView is a large-scale software component, enabling the use of web content within apps.cite-ref-w3-1-0[1] In some cases, the entire functionality of the app is implemented this way.

The prominent ones are bundled in operating systems:

• Android System WebView, based on Google Chromecite-ref-2[2]

• Apple's WebView for its devices, based on its Safari browsercite-ref-w3-1-1[1]

• Microsoft Edge WebView2cite-ref-3[3]

Other examples are Microsoft's legacy WebView, based on its deprecated EdgeHTML and MSHTML engines, and the WebView component in JavaFX.
