Chrome DevTools Protocol support

Open jogibear9988 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

What about Chrome DevTools Protocol support? (https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/) Would this be possible to implement?

Can you explain what the benefit of this would be? I think the less Chrome stuff in Ladybird, the better. The last thing I want to see is another Chrome clone

Why not? Also for example Firefox supports part of it, for example for puppeteer integration. And so could some use Chrome Debugger while developing Ladybird. What would be bad to use a standardized protocol for devtools?

What would be bad to use a standardized protocol for devtools

Is there really a standard for the dev tools protocol between the browsers, can you link to the standard? I have not heard about Firefox using Chrome dev tools.

I also agree very much with the statement that this should be as independent as possible, not depending on any single browser-specific API or specifications, but rather on RFCs standardized by the WHATWG or W3C.

I've not said there is an official standard.

Like all projects in the SerenityOS family, Ladybird has no interest in feature requests from non-contributors. Closing :)
