Servo: A Lightweight, High-Performance Web Rendering Engine in Rust
2025-03-01
Servo is a high-performance web rendering engine written in Rust, supporting WebGL and WebGPU, adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications. Created by Mozilla Research in 2012, it aims to be a lightweight alternative for embedding web technologies and contributes to web standards. In 2020, Mozilla transferred stewardship to the Linux Foundation, and in 2023, Igalia joined and moved it to the Linux Foundation Europe. Funding will first cover infrastructure costs ensuring engine releases and Web Platform Tests integration, with any surplus allocated to further improvements and development, guided by the Servo Technical Steering Committee.
