For example, bindings to an existing C++ library could be made available in WebKit. 166385 1 hausmann 2009-11-25 01:42:06 -0800 The high-level requirements are tracked at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBKIT-2 166387 2 hausmann 2009-11-25 01:42:30 -0800 *** Bug 29877 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 166685 3 jedrzej.nowacki 2009-11-26 01:50:17 -0800 *** Bug 23250 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 171847 4 jedrzej.nowacki 2009-12-15 06:59:20 -0800 It is time to start, as it was discussed on dev mailing list (https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-August/009610.html), it would be really great to have Qtish API over JSC. We considered all hints and suggestions and we decided to create a new QtScript like API on top of JSC's __public__ C API. We would like to start developing in the WebKit repository from the very beginning to avoid any confusion and make our development process transparent. I would like to keep the bug (31863) as a meta-bug. All other development bugs should be connected to this one as a blockers. Roadmap: 1. Create a small QJavaScript API. a) The API should provide enough functionality to be useful (run scripts, call functions, convert basic data...) b) The API implementation should be simple, all optimization work should be started after the API review 2. Change the building system - QtJavaScript and JSC should be build as a shared library (bug 27551) 3. Connect the new API to the QtWebkit API 4. Add new features 257047 5 jedrzej.nowacki 2010-07-27 23:52:32 -0700 (In reply to comment #4) Previous comment is a bit outdated. We decided to not create a new API, but instead move the QtScript implementation over JSC C API.
