Description: Mozilla web rendering engine (See also the new Servo engine). Gecko's function is to read web content, such as HTML, CSS, XUL, JavaScript, and render it on the user's screen or print it. In XUL-based applications Gecko is used to render the application's user interface as well.
Gecko is rather a set of components, than a standalone Gecko component or library. Servo was supposed to replace Gecko, but this is no longer the case.
