[webkit-dev] Position on emerging standard: WebCodecs

[Dan Sanders]

Hello,

I'm reaching out to see if WebKit would like to weigh in on the
WebCodecs WICG proposal:
https://discourse.wicg.io/t/webcodecs-proposal/3662.

The WebCodecs API enables web developers to instantiate codecs
(audio/video encoders/decoders) and use them to process individual
frames.

There is a related proposal for image decoders; it enables access to
individual animation frames:
https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-imagedecoder-api-extension-for-webcodecs/4418.

An implementation of these APIs is being developed in Chromium.


Thank you,

Dan Sanders
