Webshims Lib is a modular capability-based polyfill-loading library, which focuses on accurate implementations of stable HTML5 features, so that developers can write modern, interoperable and robust code in all browsers. It is built on top of jQuery and Modernizr. General Principles:
- HTML5 compliant: correctly and accurately implemented (HTML5) Markup-, JS- and DOM-APIs
- Capability based loading: extremely lightweight in modern browsers
- Cross-browser support: All A-Graded browsers including latest version of Opera are tested
- Extendable: if we have not implemented a feature you want, you can easily implement it on your own
- Implemented
- HTML5 shiv and innerShiv solution including basic CSS-support
- canvas
- HTML5 form features including: constraint validation and form widgets (input[range], input[date], input[time], input[datetime-local], output, input[list]/datalist)
- HTML5 audio/video implementation
- interactive elements: summary/details
- JSON (stringify and parse)
- localStorage/sessionStorage
- geolocation
