Blink Core: Architecture and Component Overview

The provided sources offer a comprehensive overview of Blink's core architecture and components, primarily focusing on how the engine processes and renders web content. They explain fundamental concepts such as Page and Frame for managing browsing contexts, detailing how these are specialized into LocalFrame (in-process) and RemoteFrame (out-of-process) for security and isolation. The documents extensively describe the DOM (Document Object Model) tree, its base Node class, and essential subclasses like Element, Document, Text, and Comment, along with DocumentFragment and ShadowRoot for structured content manipulation. Furthermore, the sources clarify the event system through EventTarget and Event classes, the rendering pipeline components like FrameView, LayoutObject, ComputedStyle, and the DocumentLifecycle that orchestrates style and layout. Finally, they cover critical utility classes for memory management (GarbageCollected, RefCounted, Member, Persistent, RefPtr) and string optimization (AtomicString), while also illustrating how C++ objects are exposed to JavaScript via ScriptWrappable, ExecutionContext, and ScriptState.
