B2G/Bluetooth/WebBluetooth-v2

API Overview

The Web Bluetooth API allows to discover, pair, and connect to bluetooth devices. As it is a completely experimental and non-standard API, it is currently available for certified applications only. The main entry point for the API is the navigator.mozBluetooth property, which returns a BluetoothManager object.
