| ## What is Android WebView? |
| |
| Android WebView is an Android system component for display web content. This |
| (and the related Android classes) are implemented by the code in the |
| `//android_webview/` folder. |
| |
| Android WebView is a content embedder, meaning it depends on code in |
| `//content/` and lower layers (ex. `//net/`, `//base/`), but does not depend on |
| sibling layers such as `//chrome/`. |
| |
