'''WebKitGtkSharp''' is a set of [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] bindings for the [[WebKitGTK]] library, which provides a full-featured web content engine based on the [[WebKit]] rendering engine.
It is part of the [[GtkSharp]] ecosystem and allows [[.NET (software framework)|.NET]] and [[Mono (software)|Mono]] applications to embed modern web browsing and HTML rendering capabilities.

== Overview of WebKitGTK ==
'''WebKitGTK''' is the GNOME platform port of the WebKit rendering engine used in browsers such as [[Safari]] and [[Epiphany (web browser)|GNOME Web (Epiphany)]].
It provides GTK-based applications with the ability to display and interact with web content using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SVG.

Key features of WebKitGTK include:
* Modern web standards support (HTML5, CSS3, ECMAScript)
* Integrated JavaScript engine (JavaScriptCore)
* DOM manipulation and event handling
* Web security and sandboxing
* Offscreen and accelerated rendering
* Custom URI schemes, network access, and inspector tools

== WebKitGtkSharp ==
WebKitGtkSharp provides managed .NET bindings to the native WebKitGTK library.
It allows C# developers to embed a full web view widget into GTK applications and interact programmatically with web content, DOM elements, and JavaScript contexts.

With WebKitGtkSharp, developers can:
* Embed web browsers into desktop applications using GTK
* Load and render local or remote web pages
* Execute and interact with JavaScript from managed code
* Handle navigation, resource loading, and DOM events
* Build hybrid applications combining native UI and web technologies

The bindings follow the WebKitGTK API closely while providing idiomatic .NET integration, including event-based callbacks and object wrappers for DOM elements.

== Relationship to other GtkSharp components ==
WebKitGtkSharp depends on and integrates with other GtkSharp libraries:
* [[GtkSharp]] – Provides the container and widget system for embedding the WebView component.
* [[GLibSharp]] – Supplies the base GObject and main loop system used by WebKitGTK.
* [[GioSharp]] – Handles network and resource access for web content.
* [[CairoSharp]] – Used internally for rendering web pages to GTK surfaces.

== Version compatibility ==
WebKitGtkSharp versions correspond to the WebKitGTK and GTK releases:
* **WebKitGtkSharp 1.x** – Based on early WebKitGTK 1.x (deprecated)
* **WebKitGtkSharp 2.x** – Updated for WebKitGTK 2.x and GTK 3
* **WebKitGtkSharp 4.x** – Planned for GTK 4 and modern .NET runtimes

== Example ==
A simple example of using WebKitGtkSharp to load a web page:
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
using Gtk;
using WebKit;

public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
Application.Init();
Window win = new Window("WebKitGtkSharp Example");
WebView view = new WebView();
win.Add(view);
win.Resize(800, 600);
win.DeleteEvent += (o, e) => Application.Quit();
win.ShowAll();

view.LoadUri("https://www.gnome.org");
Application.Run();
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
