Shindig was a framework for web-based applications. It is an open source project which began in December 2007 to provide a reference implementation for the OpenSocial standard, but was retired in October 2015. The software contains both server-side and client-side code. Once the project is mature, an installation of this product will be capable of rendering OpenSocial gadgets in a web browser.
Features[edit]
In the announcement for Shindig's first code commit, four primary features of Shindig were cited:[1]
- Gadget Container JavaScript—core JavaScript foundation for general gadget functionality. This JavaScript manages security, communication, UI layout, and feature extensions, such as the OpenSocial API.
- Gadget Server—an open source version of gmodules.com, which is used to render the gadget XML into JavaScript and HTML for the container to expose via the container JavaScript.
- OpenSocial Container JavaScript—JavaScript environment that sits on top of the Gadget Container JavaScript and provides OpenSocial specific functionality (profiles, friends, activities).
- OpenSocial Gateway Server—an open source implementation of the server interface to container-specific information, including the OpenSocial REST APIs, with clear extension points so others can connect it to their own backends. It helps for open social sources.
