Android WebView
Android WebView is an Android system component for displaying web content.
WebView (and
the related Android classes) are implemented by the code in the
//android_webview/ folder.
Android WebView is a content embedder, meaning it depends on code in
//content/ and lower layers (ex. //net/, //base/), but does not depend on
sibling layers such as //chrome/.
This directory contains the Android WebView implementation, as well as the implementation for the AndroidX Webkit support library.
