Primarily a wire protocol :-
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol
Secondarily a mechanism to launch Konqueror from programming
language(s) such that we can cause it in enhanced mode to be steered for
web-testing purposes. For example, we launch Firefox with a custom fairly
vanilla profile that includes our own XPI that listens on a socket (7055 and
above) for instructions from the controlling test script.
