     24  * <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/comms.html#messageport">
     25  * HTML5 message ports.</a>
     26  *
     27  * A Message port represents one endpoint of a Message Channel. In Android
     28  * webview, there is no separate Message Channel object. When a message channel
     29  * is created, both ports are tangled to each other and started, and then
     30  * returned in a MessagePort array, see {@link WebView#createWebMessageChannel}
     31  * for creating a message channel.
     32  *
     33  * When a message port is first created or received via transfer, it does not
     34  * have a WebMessageCallback to receive web messages. The messages are queued until
     35  * a WebMessageCallback is set.
     36  *
     37  * A message port should be closed when it is not used by the embedder application
     38  * anymore. A closed port cannot be transferred or cannot be reopened to send
     39  * messages. Close can be called multiple times.
     40  *
     41  * When a port is transferred to JS, it cannot be used to send or receive messages
     42  * at the Java side anymore. Different from HTML5 Spec, a port cannot be transferred
     43  * if one of these has ever happened: i. a message callback was set, ii. a message was
     44  * posted on it. A transferred port cannot be closed by the application, since
     45  * the ownership is also transferred.
     46  *
     47  * It is possible to transfer both ports of a channel to JS, for example for
     48  * communication between subframes.
