Webview

This is a lightweight, header-only C/C++ library used to embed browser engines into native desktop applications. It serves as a desktop GUI framework that allows developers to build native applications using HTML and CSS for the user interface layer.

The library provides a unified cross-platform browser component that wraps WebKit on Linux and macOS and WebView2 on Windows. It includes a native code bridge to bind JavaScript functions to C++ logic, enabling high-performance operations and data exchange across language boundaries.

The project handles platform-specific browser integration and provides mechanisms for main-thread UI dispatching to ensure thread-safe visual updates. It further supports the transfer of data and function calls between the web environment and native code via a message-based interop bridge.
