DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/9363fa89-64f3-447c-80a7-c044
 09d60377/\n\nBeyond pure web apps\, **WebViews** are essential for **cross
 -platform development**. Frameworks like Cordova\, React Native\, Electron
 \, Tauri\, and many others prove that. Other relevant use cases are: **Min
 iApps**\, whose SuperApps implement dedicated embedded web engines for con
 tent rendering\; EPUB readers\; and infotainment systems. These domain-spe
 cific use cases sometimes do not require a full-fledged WebView with a ful
 l implementation of Web standards. Indeed\, these platforms use hybrid tec
 hnologies that are inspired by Web standards (e.g.\, restricted CSS module
 s\, [HTML subsets](https://github.com/w3c/miniapp-components/blob/main/doc
 s/gap-analysis-elements.md)\, and JavaScript [APIs](https://github.com/w3c
 /miniapp-components/blob/main/docs/gap-analysis-api.md)). Occasionally non
  standard features are added and can create fragmentation.\n\nThis breakou
 t session aims to discuss the design and use of modular web engines\, cons
 idering the concrete constraints of the application scenario and the benef
 its for potential new use cases\, including the homogeneous implementation
  of cross-platform MiniApps\, **WoT** apps\, and **AI agents**. These hybr
 id platforms could benefit from these modular standards-based application 
 profiles (i.e.\, subsets of current specifications) to reduce the size of 
 engines\, thereby increasing efficiency while maintaining compatibility wi
 th existing standards. \n\nSome questions to be addressed during the sessi
 on:\n- How these modular Web engines support the growth of the Web without
   bringing fragmentation?\n- How do new web engines define their roadmap a
 nd development priorities?\n- Could the existing Web DevX tools (e.g.\, WP
 T\, CanIUse\, [CanIWebView](https://github.com/WebView-CG/Compatibility-Da
 ta-Project)\, Web-Features\, …) support the development of new engines f
 or these purposes?\n\n**Goal(s):**\nDiscussion on new requirements and W3C
  activities for the web ecosystem\n\nAgenda\n\n- Intro and background on t
 he challenge (Chairs)\n- Design of a new embedded engine (Bai Haili & Shen
  Jing\, Huawei)\n- Open questions and discussion\n\n**Materials:**\n- [sli
