JSAP - JavaScript Audio Plugin

Branch | Status --- | --- Master | Develop |

Introduction

JSAP is a new audio effects framework for the HTML 5 web audio API for building audio plugins. The standard defines both the host and plugin parts.

Usage

JSAP is made up of two parts, the plugins and the factory. The factory enables a website (host) to integrate and use JSAP plugin instances with ease. The plugins themselves are built on top of a BasePlugin JavaScript object, binding certain functions together.

To include the JSAP library into a host, simply include the 'jsap.js' file in your project, for example:

<script src="jsap.js"></script>

Plugin Repository

A set of publically maintained plugins is available in the jsap-plugins repository.
