BonsaiJS -- A Graphics and Animation Library
summary
Open-source BonsaiJS claims to decouple rendering from script execution with a single messaging protocol and multiple renderers, using an SVG renderer and a runner that runs in window thread WebWorker or nodejs. It powers Pixelplant, a Flash SWF to JS converter that handles ActionScript 2 and 3. A simple Pong demo with sound and experimental video runs during the presentation, proving the architecture works across three execution environments.
