WebDriver supports a wide range of web browsers, programming languages and test environments. WebDriver directly communicates with the web browser and uses its native compatibility to automate.

WebDriver Interface.  It supports multiple browsers, programming languages, multiple OS and is based on Java. 

 

WebDriver writen correctly one time can point to object of different browsers and can run one script on all of them.
