Annotator is a JavaScript library for building annotation applications in browsers. It provides a set of interoperable tools for annotating content in webpages. For a simple demonstration, visit the Annotator home page or download a tagged release of Annotator from the releases page and open demo.html.
Components within Annotator provide:
- user interface: components to create, edit, and display annotations in a browser.
- persistence: storage components help you save your annotations to a remote server.
- authorization and identity: integrate Annotator with your application's login and permissions systems.
- rich metadata: the
annotator.ext.documentmodule_ sniffs the page on which annotations are being made for document metadata (such as that provided by Dublin Core tags or the Facebook Open Graph) that allows you to enrich the presentation of these annotations.
