    62 The [http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/ Web IDL] is a language that defines how WebCore interfaces are bound to external languages such as JavaScriptCore, V8, ObjC, GObject and CPP. You need to write IDL files (e.g. XMLHttpRequest.idl, Element.idl, etc) to expose WebCore interfaces to those external languages. When WebKit is built, the IDL files are parsed, and the code to bind WebCore implementations and JavaScriptCore, V8, ObjC, GObject and CPP interfaces is automatically generated.

    6464This document describes practical information about how the IDL bindings work and how you can write IDL files in WebKit. The syntax of IDL files is fairly well documented in the [http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/ Web IDL spec], but it is too formal to read:-) and there are several differences between the Web IDL spec and the WebKit IDL due to implementation issues.

    361354 * `[Custom]` on a method indicates that you can write JavaScriptCore custom bindings for the method.
    362355 * `[CustomGetter]` or `[CustomSetter]` on an attribute indicates that you can write JavaScriptCore custom bindings for the attribute getter or setter.
    363 
    364 For example, if you want to write custom bindings only for an attribute getter of JavaScriptCore and V8 and an attribute setter of JavaScriptCore, you can specify `[CustomGetter, JSCustomSetter]`.

    366357You can write custom bindings with JavaScriptCore for a method or an attribute getter/setter, as follows:
