Blitz - a modular web renderer
Rust-based browser engine
Blitz is a new independent web engine implemented in Rust. It’s flexible low-level APIs make it suitable for a wide variety of use cases web browsers, an application runtimes, ebook rendering, email rendering, rendering HTML to image, etc. And its uniquely modular architecture allows it to share much of its code with other projects which it is hoped will lead to a more sustainable development model.
This project aims to bring Blitz “up to scratch” for the use-case of being an HTML/CSS browser (JavaScript support is not in scope). Use cases that are being targeted include: browsing wikipedia, viewing news websites, and searching using a search engine. The work to be completed includes improvements to the layout engine, implementation of form controls, adding WPT testing infrastructure, and the creation of an initial browser UI.
