JavaScript SDK (Open Source)
From Facebook Developer Wiki
We announced an alpha version of the JavaScript SDK that is faster, slimmer, and easier to use. What's more, we open sourced it on GitHub, so you can collaborate and build with us.
Why Open Source?
We believe in releasing and contributing to open source projects as a way to increase innovation across the Web. That's why you'll find us developing the new JavaScript SDK from the alpha stage release publicly. We are working hard to ensure your experience with Facebook Connect is fast and stable. In order to keep us nimble and allow us to bring you new functionality, without compromising stability, we have ensured full test coverage of the new JavaScript SDK. We are including this in the open source repository to assure you of our commitment to quality, but also with the hopes that you will contribute back as we develop in the future.
Release Phases
Over the next few months, we plan to revamp and release the new JavaScript SDK in phases with the following functionality:
- Core: Authentication, authorization, Facebook Platform/Connect API calls, and publishing to the Feed.
- XFBML/Widgets: Dynamic loading and events, new social widgets.
- Data: Data access abstractions.
The current alpha release includes the Core module. This is an early release, and we will continue to develop features for the SDK over the next few months.
