A RenderKit is a library of renders. A render is used to customizes the encoding and decoding for a specific client device or localized application user. A RenderKit can implement a look and feel, called a skin, target specific devices, such as a phone, PDA, or markup language, for example, WML, HTML, or SVG. In a JavaServer Page (JSP) a RenderKit is represented as a custom tag library. For detailed information on RenderKits, see the Sun JavaServer Faces Specification.
