Blink Codebase: Deeper Classes and Components

The provided texts describe various classes and components within the Blink rendering engine, offering insight into its internal architecture and functionalities. They explain how Blink manages CSS styling (ComputedStyleBase, StyleResolverState, StyleAdjuster), handles specialized HTML elements like SVG and MathML (SVGElement, MathMLElement), and implements modern web APIs such as Web Components (CustomElementRegistry), WebXR (XRSession), Web Audio (AudioContext), and device interaction (BluetoothDevice, HIDDevice). Additionally, the documents touch upon Blink's performance tooling (MemoryUsageMonitor, TraceEventHelper) and debugging infrastructure (Internals), along with advanced rendering features like off-main-thread canvas operations (OffscreenCanvas, PaintWorklet, CanvasRenderingContext2D). Each entry provides a definition and detailed explanation, illuminating the role of these components in rendering web content and interacting with hardware.
