W3C Proposed Recommendation 06 December 2022

# Abstract
This specification defines an API for sharing text, links and other content to an arbitrary destination of the user's choice.

The available share targets are not specified here; they are provided by the user agent. They could, for example, be apps, websites or contacts.

# Status

This document was published by the [Web Applications Working Group](https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/webapps) as a Proposed Recommendation using the [Recommendation track](https://www.w3.org/2021/Process-20211102/#recs-and-notes).

Publication as a Proposed Recommendation does not imply endorsement by W3C and its Members.

This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress. Future updates to this specification may incorporate [new features](https://www.w3.org/2021/Process-20211102/#allow-new-features).

The W3C Membership and other interested parties are invited to review the document and send comments through 06 December 2022. Advisory Committee Representatives should consult their [WBS questionnaires](https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/myQuestionnaires). Note that substantive technical comments were expected during the Candidate Recommendation review period that ended 08 November 2022 (?).

This document was produced by a group operating under the [W3C Patent Policy](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/). W3C maintains a [public list of any patent disclosures](https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/webapps/ipr) made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains [Essential Claim(s)](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/#def-essential) must disclose the information in accordance with [section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/#sec-Disclosure).
This document is governed by the [2 November 2021 W3C Process Document](https://www.w3.org/2021/Process-20211102/).

# Will new features be allowed to be incorporated in the Recommendation?

# Changes
No.

No.

# Dependencies met (or not)
