# WebResource

A `WebResource` object represents a downloaded URL. It encapsulates the data of the download as well as other resource properties such as the URL, MIME type, and frame name.

```
class WebResource
```

## Overview

Use the [`init(data:url:mimeType:textEncodingName:frameName:)`](/documentation/WebKit/WebResource/init(data:url:mimeType:textEncodingName:frameName:)-914h4) method to initialize a newly created `WebResource` object. Use the other methods in this class to get the properties of a `WebResource` object.
