Blink Renderer Platform

The renderer/platform/ directory contains lower-level, self-contained abstractions that core/ and modules/ can depend on.

See renderer/README.md for more about the relationship of platform/ to core/ and modules/.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of some major things in renderer/platform/:

• Runtime Enabled Features are runtime flags for new web-exposed features
• bindings/ contains reusable components for the V8-DOM bindings layer
• exported/ implements some classes in the Blink Public API which are declared in public/platform/, including blink::Platform which initializes Blink
• fonts/ and text/ contain Blink's font and text stack
• graphics/ contains graphics support code including the Blink compositing algorithm
• heap/ contains the Blink GC system (a.k.a. Oilpan)
• loader/ contains functionality for loading resources from the network
• scheduler/ contains the Blink Scheduler which coordinates task execution in renderer processes
• widget/ handles input and compositing; WidgetBase owns LayerTreeView which wraps cc/ (the renderer compositor)
• wtf/ (Web Template Framework) is a library of containers and other basic functionalities
