[Eng Sub]Connecting WebViews and Native Properly - Webview Request Protocol

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

A concrete bridge is built: Webview Request Protocol (WRP) exposes a Protobuf RPC surface so WebViews call native methods and native calls back, with generated client/server code produced by Protobuf + pbkit and small platform glue code per host. Demos show a streaming slider and text RPCs working on Android, iOS and iframe, including automatic reconnection across reloads and serialized binary messages, so the system actually runs end to end rather than just promising examples.
