plupload
A cross-browser JavaScript API for building reliable file uploaders with multiple runtime fallbacks.
What is plupload?
Plupload is a JavaScript API for building file uploaders that work reliably across different browsers and environments. It solves the problem of inconsistent browser support for file uploads by providing a unified API with fallbacks to technologies like Flash and Silverlight when HTML5 is not available. It enables features like multiple file selection, client-side image resizing, and chunked uploads.
Web developers and teams who need to implement customizable, cross-browser file upload functionality in their applications, especially those requiring support for older browsers or specific runtime environments.
Developers choose Plupload for its proven reliability, extensive fallback support, and rich feature set that simplifies building complex upload interfaces. Its separation of core API from UI widgets allows for flexibility, while the underlying mOxie polyfills ensure compatibility with evolving web standards.
Overview
