The Comments API provides functionality that allows applications to place a Facebook-provided FBML or XFBML social widget on canvas pages or using Facebook Connect. It also includes a set of APIs that allow comments to be added or removed on behalf of users in order to support desktop or mobile applications without requiring the full social widget. The same APIs, when called with an application secret, allows programmatic management of comments by application developers. Each of the APIs and widgets operates on an xid, which uniquely identifies a set of comments for a specific application.

Widgets that may be included through XFBML (Facebook Connect) or FBML (canvas pages).
