Processing.js is an open programming language for people who want to program
images, animation, and interactions for the web without using Flash or Java
applets. Processing.js uses Javascript to draw shapes and manipulate images
on the HTML5 Canvas element. The code is light-weight, simple to learn and
makes an ideal tool for visualizing data, creating user-interfaces and
developing web-based games.
The Processing language was created by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It evolved
from ideas explored in the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media
Lab and was originally intended to be used in a Java run-time environment. In
the Summer of 2008, John Resig ( inventor of jQuery ), ported the 2D context
of Processing to Javascript for use in web pages. Much like the native
language, Processing.js is a community driven project, and continues to grow
as browser technology advances.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
PLATFORM AND BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
Processing.js is explicitly developed for and actively tested on browsers that
support the HTML5 <Canvas> element. Processing.js runs in FireFox, Safari,
Chrome and Opera but is not currently supported in Internet Explorer.
Processing.js aims for 100 percent compatibility across all supported browsers;
however, differences between individual canvas implementations may give
slightly different results in your sketches.
Implementing Processing.js in Flash or Silverlight is not recommended, as Java
already occupies the browser plug-in space for this library. For users
wishing to run Processing.js in Silverlight, see Paul Irish's Silverlight
implementation. Using Internet Explorer Canvas with Processing.js typically
results in unusable frame-rates for moderately complex visualizations.
