Chiron ====== Chiron is a system of interoperable JavaScript modules. Chiron modules conform to the "securable, interoperable JavaScript module specification" [1]. Chiron also provides a compliant module loader for web browsers. This project strives to provide a coherent set of general purpose modules for both client and server, and secure and non-secured environments. These modules presently include: * a type system * base types * general-purpose functions * events * encoding, decoding * hashing * caching Versions 0.2 and beyond are being developed here on Github. The 0.1 development train is in Subversion at Google Code [2]. Usage ===== Chiron modules can be used both on the client and server side. Chiron ships with a browser-based XHR module loader. ``modules.js`` is a script, suitable for inclusion on with a ``<script>`` tag in a web page. The script will instantiate a module system in the page. In the script tag, put the identifier of your main module in the query string:: <script src="path/to/modules.js?main"></script> If your module library is in an alternate location, you can supply a library path on the query string as well:: <script src="/modules.js?path=/js/&main"></script> Tools for bundling and minimizing modules for production are presently being recreated for this version of Chiron. ``modules.js`` leaves no trace of itself in the DOM or in the global scope (it does not add any properties to the ``window`` object, and removes its own ``<script>`` tag from the DOM. Thus, Chiron is very kind to its neighbors, and most modules are designed deffensively and non-aggressively. Installation ============ Chiron does not presently support installation, but there are plans to eventually integrate with Narwhal [3] and whatever package management system the Server-side JavaScript [4] "working group" ratifies.
