21 : The X-Tag Project
Daniel Buchner (@csuwildcat), Product Manager at Target & former Mozillian, talks with The Web Platform Podcast on x-tag, the Custom Elements library competitor to Polymer that he created alongside former Mozillian & Kraken Developer, Arron Schaar (@pennyfx). X-tag is a interesting way to work with web components that takes a totally imperative approach to creating Web Components as opposed to the declarative way of building with Polymer. Some features include legacy browser support, optional mixins to share across components, & functional pseudos to assist in delegation. Daniel has worked on the W3C specs for Web Components and is now updating x-tag to meet the demands of developers to have more flexibility with Shadow DOM, Templates, and HTML Imports. Daniel is very active on github and would love to have more contributors help build the future of the x-tag projects as well as all projects that help make the web better.
