WebView, Android System WebView, Chromium project

[Alice]

I'm trying to understand how WebView API is connected to the the Android System WebView App and the Chromium project that implements WebView. What does the WebView app actually do? Could anyone explain the connection between these three components? I fail to see the high level view.
