  • ABSTRACT
  • This paper, integrating the practical development demand on the B/S architecture application, presents an extension development model of Web Kit Browser Engine. The composition, compilation process and the extension development principles of Web Kit are illustrated. Taking account of the different requirements of browser engine extension development in the actual projects, we propose the strategies for the extension development of Web Kit including source code modification for extension and API-based extension. Further more, we refine the strategy of API-based extension by introducing three specific ways as rewriting the existing API, developing plugins and extending Java Script Object. The strategies have achieved a satisfied performance by applying in the actual project.
