X; The Web Components Polyfill

Posted by Dion Almaer 11 months ago on component dom

The Web needs a component model!

I have heard that rally call for years. The current attempt to give us a quality model is Web Components, originally pioneered by Dimitri Glazkov and Alex Russell.

The spec is still a draft, so how long will it take to come to a Browser Near You?

Maybe sooner than you think. Mozilla has pushed X Tag as a polyfill for the custom element portion of the spec, so document.register is filled (but not shadow DOM etc etc).

Great to see continued progress.
