Streams API, HTML Templates Drafts Published

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 14 February 2013

The Web Applications Working Group has published two First Public Working Drafts today:

Streams API, which provides an API for representing binary data in web applications as a Stream object, as well as programmatically building and reading its contents. This specification defines objects to be used within threaded web applications for the synchronous reading of a Stream. This API is designed to be used in conjunction with other APIs and elements on the web platform, notably: File, XMLHttpRequest, postMessage, and Web Workers.
HTML Templates, which describes a method for declaring inert DOM subtrees in HTML and manipulating them to instantiate document fragments with identical contents.
