Tizen Wearable Web W3C/HTML5 and Supplementaries API Reference

The APIs listed in this category are all part of the W3C specifications. Some of the APIs are stable while others are draft specifications. The draft APIs are subject to change as the W3C specification evolves.

The W3C APIs are categorized based on the functionality to make it easier to locate specific APIs. To learn the Tizen features provided by the W3C/HTML5 and some supplementary APIs, see Guide to W3C/HTML5 and Some Supplementary Features.
