Load a URL (website/localhost ) with JavaFX WebView

What is WebView:

A WebView is an embeddable browser that a native application can use to display web content.

The JavaFX WebView (javafx.scene.web.WebView) component is capable of showing web pages (HTML, CSS, SVG, JavaScript) inside a JavaFX application.

Here is an example:

2- In-App Browsers:

One of the most common uses for a WebView is to display the contents of a link.

3- Full Screen Hybrid Apps:

You can build an entire desktop or mobile app using web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript.. just by hosting your project online or in a localhost and then use the WebView to display web content.

4- Native App Extensions:

Many native apps, especially on the desktop, provide a way for you to extend their functionality by installing an add-in or extension. Because of how easy and powerful web technologies are, these add-ins and extensions are often built in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript instead of C++, C#, or whatever. One popular example of this is Microsoft Office. [1]
