The web just gets better with Interop 2024 | WebKit
February 6, 2024
The Interop project aims to improve interoperability by encouraging browser engine teams to look deeper into specific focus areas. Now, for a third year, Apple, Bocoup, Google, Igalia, Microsoft, and Mozilla pooled our collective expertise and selected a specific subset of automated tests for 2024.
Some of the technologies chosen have been around for a long time. Other areas are brand new. By selecting some of the highest priority features that developers have avoided for years because of their bugs, we can get them to a place where they can finally be relied on. And by selecting exciting new technology, we can ensure it’s interoperable from the beginning.
To better understand where interoperability is going in the future, let’s first take a look at the impact of Interop 2023.
This year’s Interop has dropped. Interop is a collaborative project of major broker developers and contributors to focus on a subset of the web platform’s capabilities, and raise their interoperability across browsers. Previous years’ Interops have been very successful.
I’m particularly looking forward to CSS Nesting and Declarative Shadow DOM.
