YAP v 1.6 supports the 0.8 version of the OpenSocial JavaScript APIs and the 0.8.1 version of the OpenSocial RESTful APIs. However, YAP v1.6 does not support the OpenSocial Gadget XML definitions. (Support for these features will be added in a future release.) In your Yahoo! Open Application, the code for your Canvas view can include calls to the OpenSocial JavaScript APIs. (The Small view does not support JavaScript.) For the Canvas view, YAP filters all JavaScript code with Caja.

Yahoo! Inc. is a charter member of the OpenSocial Foundation. We are committed to supporting OpenSocial and are working with the foundation on defining future specifications such as OSML and OpenSocial templates.

This chapter covers OpenSocial support for YAP, but does not discuss OpenSocial in general. For more information on OpenSocial, see the following documentation:
