Writing a browser involves the integration of several key modules that work together to provide the ability to browse the web.

The following are the main modules in the browser:

  1. user interface (UI):
    -provides an interface for users to interact with the browser, including address bar, forward / back buttons, bookmarks, history, etc.
  2. Network engine:
    -responsible for communicating with the network, including sending and receiving HTTP requests, processing SSL/TLS connections, and parsing URL.
  3. rendering engine (Renderer):
    -responsible for parsing and rendering web content, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
    This module usually uses its own JavaScript engine, such as WebKit's JavaScriptCore or Blink's V8.
  4. JavaScript engine:
    -executes the JavaScript code in the web page.
    This engine needs to execute JavaScript code efficiently and safely while providing good performance.
  5. Storage:
    -manage the local data storage of web pages, including Cookie, local storage, IndexedDB, etc.
  6. Security:
    -responsible for handling security-related functions, such as SSL/TLS connection, homology policy, content security policy, etc.
  7. plug-in system:
    -support browser extensions and plug-ins that allow users to add new features or modify existing ones.
  8. data processing:
    -processing and parsing web page data, such as XML, JSON, etc.
  9. Multimedia processing:
    -handle multimedia content in web pages, such as audio, video and pictures.
  10. performance Monitoring:
    -Monitoring and reporting the performance of web pages, including page loading time, JavaScript execution time, etc.
  11. Resource Management:
    -manage web resources, such as pictures, CSS files, JavaScript files, etc.
  12. Cache:
    -caching web pages and resources to improve loading speed and performance.
    These modules need to work together to ensure that browsers can display web content efficiently and safely.
    Writing a browser requires an in-depth understanding of the functions of these modules and the interaction between them.
