 **How does Syiro compare to the likes of Bootstrap and Polymer?**
 
-1. Syiro is significantly more focused on functionality and components compared to Bootstrap and Polymer.
-2. Bootstrap implements components that are redundant given the capabilities of HTML5, such as progress bars, and as a result those frameworks are significantly more bloated and have to provide functionality to help trim out all the unnecessary components they package in.
-3. Bootstrap, unlike Syiro, also requires jQuery to do simple functionality like event handing, making the footprint for creating applications significantly larger as well as adding complexity in regards to dependencies.
-4. Polymer, just like Bootstrap, requires multiple dependencies and therefore makes rapid development more complex and forces you to rely on tools like Bower for dependency management.
-5. Polymer relies on Custom Elements, which is a working draft and is only supported in Chrome, therefore not friendly to the web as a whole, since users of any browser not using the Blink engine can't utilize Custom Elements without polyfilling. Syiro, on the other hand, leverages the HTML5 standard data-* to define components.
-6. Neither Bootstrap nor Polymer offer an easy way to generate components via Javascript. With Syiro you can easily generate a component by calling syiro.X.Generate (where X = the component type).

 **What is Syiro's policy on backwards compatibility?**
 
-We have a [document that highlights our policy](http://stroblindustries.com/devcenter/index.html?product=syiro&doc=api-support-policy) on API support and backwards compatibility, so you know exactly when something *could* break and when something *shouldn't* break so you can yell at us!
