| <p>&webxdc; is a specification for sharing interactive embeddable widgets built with web-like technologies (HTML, JavaScript) via a chat platform, and sharing state between participants in the chat without allowing external network connections for the sandboxed web content.

| <li>widget: the WebXDC widget delivered in a zip container as defined by &webxdc;</li> | ||
| <li>host application: the XMPP client embedding the widget</li> | ||
| <li>peer: the chat partner in a 1:1 chat or one of the participants of a &xep0045; or other group chat</li> | ||
