Are you sure you’ve looked at WKWebView in its entirety? I was looking at converting a UIWebView and WKWebView seems to have 10x MORE API than UIWebView. Its just sprinkled about in a lot more classes and delegates. This is a great resource:

I realize that WKWebView is more secure, and it's a step up from UIWebView, but it is in no way a replacement for WebView. It’s like Garage Band vs Final Cut Pro.

Two years later I still can’t use the latest version of Pages, because it’s missing independent left/right-page margin settings.)
