The very first Web Activity is [http://activities.sugarlabs.org//en-US/sugar/addon/4411 Wikipedia]. Wikipedia is a Python activity embedding a WebView to display HTML Wikipedia pages. Searching and browsing is available from a standard Python toolbar. Clicking on a toolbar button change the current viewed HTML page or launch history command (previous/next). To communicate from HTML to Python, Wikipedia embedd an [https://git.sugarlabs.org/wikipedia/wikipedia/blobs/master/activity.py HTTP Server]. When a hyperlink is clicked in the HTML page it call the HTTP server then launch any Python code.

[http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4612 Foodchain] is another attempt to write HTML5 activities. In FoodChain there is no embedded HTTP Server. Communication from Python to JavaScript use the WebKit "[https://git.sugarlabs.org/foodchain-activity/master/blobs/master/enyo.py execute_script]" command. Communication from JavaScript to Python use the WebKit "[https://git.sugarlabs.org/foodchain-activity/master/blobs/master/html/sugar.js console.log]" function with the hack on the WebKit "console-message". In both way of communication, all data exchange between Python and JavaScript are converted in JSON.

Two others activities use the same way of working: [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4647 Grid paint] and [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4659 Abecedarium].
Two others activities use the same framework: [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4647 Grid paint] and [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4659 Abecedarium]. The framework is described [http://en.flossmanuals.net/make-your-own-sugar-activities/developing-sugar-activities-using-html5/ here].
