RenderKit is an experimental, ground-up implementation of a web browser rendering engine in Rust, designed to explore the intricacies of browser internals and web rendering technologies.
- Create a minimal, educational web rendering engine
- Understand browser rendering internals
- Implement core rendering algorithms from scratch
- Provide a learning resource for systems programming
- DOM Tree Construction
- HTML Parsing
- CSS Style Computation
- Basic Layout Engine
- Simple Painting/Rendering
- Advanced Rendering Techniques
- Performance Optimization
