The Microsoft Edge WebView2 control enables you to host web content in your application using Chromium-based Microsoft Edge as the rendering engine.
WebView2 is available for the following frameworks or platforms:
- Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core - Common to all WinRT frameworks.
- COM Interop/C++ - Common to all WinRT frameworks.
- WinUI 2 (UWP)
- WinUI 3 (Windows App SDK)
On the web side of a WebView2 app, WebView2 exposes JavaScript APIs to the HTML documents that are running within the WebView2 control. These JavaScript APIs are mostly to support communication with the host application.
