There are several ports using WebKit2 (Apple, GTK, EFL). There is a 
common set of internal C APIs that is used by all ports. The common C 
APIs make the architecture and testing easier for everyone.

If I remember correctly, the APIClients, APIObjects, etc are just used 
to create the opaque C types used by the internal API.

To learn WebKit2, you should not start there. The C API is a layering 
detail. It will be a lot easier to start from the high level API of the 
port you are using, and go down the stack toward the proxy objects and 
finally the engine.
