I note this API is much easier to use than the previous one for Chrome OS
https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chromeos_smart_card_connector

It is possible to identify a PC/SC reader by asking the USB VendorID
and ProductID.
See "Identifying a reader model (part 2)"

It works with my CCID driver so, I think, not with Windows CCID driver.

You do not target Windows. There is a technical reason?

Also I do not see any source code. Maybe it is just a API proposal
with no code available yet?

I already know SConnect for a similar software. But SConnect is not
Free Software
