Using SwiftUI WebView Without UIViewRepresentable

This article explains how to use the new native WebView in SwiftUI, eliminating the need for UIViewRepresentable wrappers around WKWebView. It covers the basic usage for displaying URLs, introduces the WebPage observable model for managing loading progress, navigation, and JavaScript, and provides code examples for a privacy policy view and an article browser. The new API is available on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, and visionOS 26, requiring availability checks for older systems. The article also contrasts the old wrapper approach with the new simpler syntax.
