# WebFrameView

WebFrameView objects and their subviews display the web content contained in a frame. You never create instances of WebFrameView directly—WebView objects create and manage a hierarchy of WebFrameView objects, one for each frame. WebFrameView objects use a scroll view whose document view conforms to the WebDocumentView protocol.

## Declaration

```swift
class WebFrameView
```
