Polymer

Polymer aims to be a front-liner when it comes to W3C Web Components development, putting the building blocks to what will be considered standard programming methods with the technology Google deemed "the future of Web development."

In Polymer's architectural structure everything is a component and everything is reused as often as possible.

This reduces development time and adds a little bit more efficiency to the app's core code.

The Polymer library is framework agnostic, provides a set of reusable UI components that can be downloaded from its homepage, and also delivers a Starter Kit.

This latter feature is a fully-functional Web app boilerplate that can be deployed right away, providing all the basic code needed to run a Polymer-based website or mobile app.
