# Polymer

Build Status:
[http://build.chromium.org/p/client.polymer/waterfall](http://build.chromium.org/p/client.polymer/waterfall)

## Brief Overview

For more detailed info goto
[http://polymer-project.org/](http://polymer-project.org/).

Polymer is a new type of library for the web, designed to leverage the existing
browser infrastructure to provide the encapsulation and extendability currently
only available in JS libraries.

Polymer is based on a set of future technologies, including [Shadow
DOM](https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/shadow/index.html),
[Custom
Elements](https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/custom/index.html)
and Model Driven Views. Currently these technologies are implemented as
polyfills or shims, but as browsers adopt these features natively, the platform
code that drives Polymer evacipates, leaving only the value-adds.

## Tools & Testing

For running tests or building minified files, consult the [tooling
information](http://polymer-project.org/tooling-strategy.html).
