Web Publication JS

This project is a proof of concept for handling Web Publications and the Web Publication Manifest in a browser.

In its current state, it can already be re-used, as long as a publication links to:

• a Web Publication Manifest using a <link> element in the document
• a Web App Manifest that points to a Web Publication Manifest using publication

It is meant to be embedded in the resources of the publication, this project is not a Web App meant to display Web Publications.

For the Web App use case, check Web Publication Viewer or Dave Cramer's ACME Publishing.

Current Features

The current version of the Web Publication JS supports the following features:

• resources from the publication are cached and served offline by a Service Worker using a network first then cache policy
• navigation between documents is injected in the current document using a <nav> element

Potential Features

A separate Wiki page is available with a list of potential features that are relevant in Web Publications: https://github.com/HadrienGardeur/webpub-manifest/wiki/Web-Publication-JS-Features
