The Servo Book

API docs

---

Servo is a web browser engine written in the Rust programming language, and currently developed for following platforms:

• 64-bit Linux
• 64-bit macOS
• 64-bit Windows
• Android
• OpenHarmony

Work is still ongoing to make Servo consumable as a webview library. Currently, the recommended way to run Servo as a browser is via servoshell, our winit and egui-based demo browser. If you’d like to embed Servo in your own application, consider using tauri-runtime-verso, a custom Tauri runtime, or servo-gtk, a GTK4-based web browser widget.

This book will be your guide to building and running servoshell, hacking on and contributing to Servo, the architecture of Servo, and how to consume Servo and its libraries.

This book is a work in progress! In the table of contents, * denotes chapters that were recently added or imported from older docs, and still need to be copyedited or reworked.

Contributions are always welcome. Click the pencil button in the top right of each page to propose changes, or go to servo/book for more details.
