Gradual Transition to JUCE 8 WebView?

[ttg]

You should look around the forum there are many topics related such as:

WebView vs JUCE graphics

Now that we have good support for web views in JUCE, and we also have some nice graphics enhancements in JUCE 8, I’ve come back to a question that I’ve had hanging for a while now: What are the pros and cons of creating a plugin UI with web views, and in what situations might one be preferable over the other? I have some thoughts on this myself but I’d like to open it up to the community.

The biggest challenges with “mixing” web views with existing code would be:

• layering: you won’t be able to overlay on WebView with opacity for example.
• keyboard/mouse/touch input - WebViews is also tricky when it comes to mixing user input.

Also,
JUCE8 is getting many welcomed improvements to its own graphics abstraction (re-designed font/text support, Direct2D).
