11 Polymer is a new type of library for the web, designed to leverage the existing
browser infrastructure to provide the encapsulation and extendability currently
only available in JS libraries. | |

13 Polymer is based on a set of future technologies, including [Shadow DOM](https:/
/dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/shadow/index.html), [Custom Elem
ents](https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/custom/index.html)
and Model Driven Views. Currently these technologies are implemented as polyfill
s or shims, but as browsers adopt these features natively, the platform code tha
t drives Polymer evacipates, leaving only the value-adds. | |
