# 1. Internal Modules

The noVNC client is composed of several internal modules that handle
rendering, input, networking, etc. Each of the modules is designed to
be cross-browser and independent from each other.

Note however that the API of these modules is not guaranteed to be
stable, and this documentation is not maintained as well as the
official external API.


## 1.1 Module List

* __Keyboard__ (core/input/keyboard.js): Keyboard input event handler with
non-US keyboard support. Translates keyDown and keyUp events to X11
keysym values.

* __Display__ (core/display.js): Efficient 2D rendering abstraction
layered on the HTML5 canvas element.

* __Websock__ (core/websock.js): Websock client from websockify
with transparent binary data support.
[Websock API](https://github.com/novnc/websockify-js/wiki/websock.js) wiki page.


## 1.2 Callbacks

For the Mouse, Keyboard and Display objects the callback functions are
assigned to configuration attributes, just as for the RFB object. The
WebSock module has a method named 'on' that takes two parameters: the
callback event name, and the callback function.
