Ekioh HTML Webkit Plugin

Ekioh’s Webkit plug-in provides the Ekioh SVG Engine with the optional ability to render the vast majority of websites. Using the latest HTML5, DOM3 and CSS3 standards, the display of most sites is identical to that of modern desktop browsers.

The Ekioh Webkit plug-in combines Ekioh’s platform independence layer with Webkit HTML rendering technology to provide a web browsing experience that is easily ported to any Linux, Android or WinCE device.

• Web browser portals can be created as part of existing SVG UIs to render HTML content.
• Shares the same super fast graphics rendering technologies as the Ekioh SVG Engine, resulting in efficient and quick on screen display.
