With the 1.0 release of its Polymer library, Google is pushing for a method of building Web applications that leverages the development of interoperable custom elements.
Polymer 1.0 was unveiled during the Google I/O conference in San Francisco late last week. "Since the Developer Preview release, we've re-written the library from the ground up, focusing on cross-browser performance while keeping the developer-friendly ergonomics," Taylor Savage, Polymer product manager, said in a blog post. "The new library is about three times faster on Chrome, four times faster on Safari, and a third less code than in developer preview. And it's ready to be used in production applications."
