capi and cef_xxx

[yeswecode]

Hello.
This may be somewhat stupid question...

My question is....

Why do we need c/c++ translator in CEF?
Can application directly call interface in _impl classes?

In more detail with an example of calling GetElementById, below is the call-stack flow

(1) calls CefDOMDocument::GetElementById
(2) calls CefDOMDocumentCToCpp::GetElementById
(3) calls domdocument_get_element_by_id
(4) calls CefDOMDocumentImpl::GetElementById
(5) calls WebDocument::getElementById

Application (C++) calls c++ api which is then delegated to c api, which is (again) delegated to c++ impl class method.

Why can we just let CefDOMDocument class to call CefDOMDocumentImpl class directly[/b],
getting rid of steps (2) and (3) in above?

Thank you very much in advance.

You can use the C API directly if you want. The C API is a boundary between the CEF DLL and your application for the purposes of correct memory management, etc.
