Enum values used for determining the webview cache model.
| Disable the cache completely, which substantially reduces memory usage. Useful for applications that only access a single local file, with no navigation to other pages. No remote resources will be cached. | |
| Improve document load speed substantially by caching a very large number of resources and previously viewed content. | |
| A cache model optimized for viewing a series of local files -- for example, a documentation viewer or a website designer. WebKit will cache a moderate number of resources. |
WebKitWebContext * webkit_web_context_get_default (void);
Gets the default web context
Returns : |
(transfer none) a WebKitWebContext |
WebKitCacheModel webkit_web_context_get_cache_model (WebKitWebContext *context);
Returns the current cache model. For more information about this
value check the documentation of the function
webkit_web_context_set_cache_model().
|
the WebKitWebContext |
Returns : |
the current WebKitCacheModel |
void webkit_web_context_set_cache_model (WebKitWebContext *context,WebKitCacheModel cache_model);
Specifies a usage model for WebViews, which WebKit will use to determine its caching behavior. All web views follow the cache model. This cache model determines the RAM and disk space to use for caching previously viewed content .
Research indicates that users tend to browse within clusters of documents that hold resources in common, and to revisit previously visited documents. WebKit and the frameworks below it include built-in caches that take advantage of these patterns, substantially improving document load speed in browsing situations. The WebKit cache model controls the behaviors of all of these caches, including various WebCore caches.
Browsers can improve document load speed substantially by specifying WEBKIT_CACHE_MODEL_WEB_BROWSER. Applications without a browsing interface can reduce memory usage substantially by specifying WEBKIT_CACHE_MODEL_DOCUMENT_VIEWER. The default value is WEBKIT_CACHE_MODEL_WEB_BROWSER.
