A simple framework for extending BOM/DOM APIs on chromium based browser for android OS

In this paper we propose a simple solution for the problem of providing additional functionality for web content apart from what a typical web browser provides by default. There are multiple solutions such as browser plugins which are installed separately and have their own lifecycle. Some browsers provide custom java script objects to access additional functionality by embedding precompiled JavaScript and native code. In this research we find out an application layer approach to add and expose additional functionality into a chromium engine based browser. The functionality is exposed as very generic extension to BOM/DOM APIs, so that the content developers do not have to deal with customized object names which vary from browser vendor to vendor. This BOM/DOM extension also helps the browser vendors in reducing dependence on out of the box plugin installations at the same time make content development easy with typical JavaScript or other UI libraries. As part of same research we find out typical execution time for executing various API calls, which can help architects and designers in designing such a system with optimal performance needed for their respective web applications.
