Updated Drafts of Three WebApps Specifications: File API, Server-Sent Events, HTML5 Web Messaging

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 20 October 2011

The Web Applications Working Group updated three Working Drafts today:

File API, which provides an API for representing file objects in web applications, as well as programmatically selecting them and accessing their data.
Server-Sent Events, which defines an API for opening an HTTP connection for receiving push notifications from a server in the form of DOM events. The API is designed such that it can be extended to work with other push notification schemes such as Push SMS.
HTML5 Web Messaging, which defines two mechanisms for communicating between browsing contexts in HTML documents.
