WebKit is an open source web browser engine that is the core of Apple's Safari web browser. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other Mac OS X applications. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE.

WebKit is comprised of two smaller frameworks, WebCore and JavaScriptCore available as a system framework for adding web content rendering capabilities to Mac OS X applications.

More information about the WebKit open source project can be found at the WebKit Open Source Project website.

WebCore and JavaScriptCore are available under the Lesser GNU Public License. WebKit is available under a BSD-style license.
