Web integration

Android comes equipped with WebKit, a complete HTML rendering engine also used in Apple's Safari and

Google's Chrome.

WebKit supports CSS Level 3 stylesheets and also sports a performant JavaScript engine(Google's V8,

which outperforms most other JavaScript VMs in many head-to-head comparisons).

The browser engine Android provides isn't stripped down. It's not exactly the same as your desktop browser, but it's close.

use of Webkit isn't constrained to the Browser application. In fact, you can embed HTML backed by WebKit

directly into your application by using a UI widget component called a WebView.
