What is node-yajsml
node-yajsml is:
Yajsml is a server-side component that allows JavaScript code to be distributed in a reliable and performant way. Its three features are:
- Proxy pass through for individual resource requests.
- Bulk responses for requests of closely associated resources (e.g. dependencies) when a request specifies a JSONP-style callback.
- Canonical packaged resources where requests for disparate resources may be fulfilled through a redirect to one canonical packaged resource (which exploits warmed caches).
