CernVM WebAPI is an application that can interface for any browsers in order to provide real-time interaction with a CernVM Virtual Machine running in the host OS. This plugin identifies the hypervisors installed in the system and picks the most appropriate one to host the CernVM Guest OS.

It then provides a simple interface to start/stop the VM and access it's configuration.
