18.6 Scripting browsers
A Browser dictates the way in which the navigation flow is to be specified. We distinguish between two general types of browsers:
- Explicit browsers enables us to control the creation of panes and transformations. Currently, there Glamour offers a single implementation of this type of browsers: the Tabulator (see Section 18.6.1)
- Implicit browsers come with a built in logic of the navigation flow, and only allow us to customize the presentations. There are two such browsers available: the Finder (see Section 18.6.2) and the Accumulator (see Section 18.6.3)
Perhaps even more interesting is that Browsers can be nested allowing us to reuse complex navigation flows within even more complex ones. Section 18.6.4 provides more details.
