It is built in to the application and + written in JavaScript. + + It serves as the backend for the geckodriver WebDriver implementation, + and is used in the context of Firefox UI tests, reftesting, + Web Platform Tests, test harness bootstrapping, and in many + other far-reaching places where browser instrumentation is required. + +* [_geckodriver_] provides the HTTP API described by the [WebDriver + protocol] to communicate with Gecko-based applications such as + Firefox and Firefox for mobile. It is a standalone executable + written in Rust, and can be used with compatible W3C WebDriver clients. + +* [_webdriver_] is a Rust crate providing interfaces, traits + and types, errors, type- and bounds checks, and JSON marshaling + for correctly parsing and emitting the [WebDriver protocol]. + +By participating in this project, you agree to abide by the Mozilla +[Community Participation Guidelines].
