weinre Description

WEb INspector REmote is WEinre Pronounced like "winery". Or perhaps like the word "weiner". Weinre is a web page debugger, similar to FireBug (for Firefox), and Web Inspector (for WebKit based browsers), but it's designed to work remotely and, in particular, to allow users to debug web pages from a mobile device like a phone. Weinre was created in an era when there weren't any remote debuggers for mobile devices. Some platforms have begun to offer remote debugging capabilities as part of their platform toolkit. Weinre uses the user interface code from WebKit's web inspector project. If you have used Chrome's Developer Tools or Safari's web inspector, you will be familiar with weinre. Normal usage will require you to run the client application on your desktop/laptop and a target page on your smartphone. Weinre doesn't use any 'native code' in the browser. It's just plain old JavaScript.
