Safari Extensions
Safari extensions are a great way to add new features to Safari. They are built with standard web technologies — HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. So if you can develop for the web, you’ll feel right at home writing extensions for Safari.
Smart App Banners
Make it easy for users to discover and download your app from a website on iOS. With Safari’s Smart App Banner you can display a banner that provides a direct link to your app on the App Store, or opens the app if the user already has it installed. Smart App Banners integrate seamlessly, have the same look and feel users know from the App Store, and are easy to implement.
Safari Push Notifications
Use the Apple Push Notifications Service to send notifications to your website users, right on their Mac desktop — even when Safari isn’t running. They display your website icon and notification text, which users can click to go right to your website.
WebKit
Introduced by Apple, WebKit is the most advanced rendering engine, drawing the webpages you see in Safari on OS X and iOS.
HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)
Deliver streaming media to an iOS app or HTML5-based website using an ordinary web server.
