Want to understand how browsers parse, compute, and output webpages as an attempt to compare how Webkit (safari and chrome) and Firefox (gecko) function. More specifically, I am looking at how these browsers implement the outline algorithm as defined by the HTML5 specification.
Given that all of these rending engines / browsers are open source, I figure there would be documentation, schematics / diagrams, or other forms of explanation, but I cant find anything that is hight level or easy to understand (i’m not a programmer, but have a high degree of technical knowledge).
I have found the following webpages:
http://www.vineetgupta.com/tag/browser-architecture/
http://taligarsiel.com/Projects/howbrowserswork1.htm
(http://taligarsiel.com/Projects/howbrowserswork1.htm)
but I’d like to find more like these…. any suggestions?
