Google made a leap forward by executing JavaScript when crawling the internet. However, developers of JavaScript-heavy websites and Single Page Applications can't make use of it because no other crawler executes JavaScript, yet. This is understandable since JS-enabled crawling involves some heavy lifting. Nonetheless, Google found a sweet spot by most importantly cutting off AJAX calls. This way crawlers and web developers can meet in the middle.
This specification shall allow implementors of crawlers to follow Google's lead and provide a contract for framework and website developers to rely on.
