I’m building a toy HTML rendering engine, and I think you should too. This isthe first in a series of articles: The full series will describe the code I’ve written, and show how you can makeyour own. But first, let me explain why.
Let’s talk terminology. A browser engine is the portion of a web browserthat works “under the hood” to fetch a web page from the internet, andtranslate its contents into forms you can read, watch, hear, etc. Blink,Gecko, WebKit, and Trident are browser engines. In contrast, thebrowser’s own UI—tabs, toolbar, menu and such—is called thechrome. Firef...
A full-featured browser engine is hugely complex. Blink, Gecko,WebKit—these are millions of lines of code each. Even younger,simpler rendering engines like Servo and WeasyPrintare eachtens of thousands of lines. Not the easiest thing for a newcomer tocomprehend! Speaking of hugely complex software: If you take a class on compilers oroperating syste...
I hope I’ve convinced you to give it a try. This series will be easiest tofollow if you already have some solid programming experience and know somehigh-level HTML and CSS concepts. However, if you’re just getting startedwith this stuff, or run into things you don’t understand, feel free to askquestions and I’ll try to make it clearer. Before you s...
You can build a toy layout engine in any programming language. Really! Goahead and use a language you know and love. Or use this as an excuse to learna new language if that sounds like fun. If you want to start contributing to major browser engines like Gecko orWebKit, you might want to work in C++ because it’s the main language used inthose engine...
In a learning exercise like this, you have to decide whether it’s “cheating”to use someone else’s code instead of writing your own from scratch. Myadvice is to write your own code for the parts that you really want tounderstand, but don’t be shy about using libraries for everything else.Learning how to use a particular library can be a worthwhile e...
Are you ready to write some code? We’ll start with something small: datastructures for the DOM. Let’s look at robinson’s dom module. The DOM is a tree of nodes. A node has zero or more children. (It also hasvarious other attributes and methods, but we can ignore most of those for now.) There are several node types, but for now we will ignore most o...
These are just a few suggested ways to follow along at home. Do theexercises that interest youand skip any that don’t. 1. Start a new program in the language of your choice, and write code torepresent a tree of DOM text nodes and elements. 2. Install the latest version of Rust, then download and buildrobinson. Open up dom.rs and extend NodeTypeto i...
For much more detailed information about browser engine internals, see TaliGarsiel’s wonderful How Browsers Workand its links to furtherresources. For example code, here’s a short list of “small” open source web renderingengines. Most of them are many times bigger than robinson, but still waysmaller than Gecko or WebKit.
