# configuration

The object that contains the configuration details for the web view.

```
@NSCopying var configuration: WKWebViewConfiguration { get }
```

## Discussion

Use the object in this property to obtain information about your web view’s configuration. Because this property returns a copy of the configuration object, changes you make to that object don’t affect the web view’s configuration.

If you didn’t create your web view using the [`init(frame:configuration:)`](/documentation/WebKit/WKWebView/init(frame:configuration:)) method, this property contains a default configuration object.

## See Also

[`WKWebViewConfiguration`](/documentation/WebKit/WKWebViewConfiguration)

A collection of properties that you use to initialize a web view.
