We are happy to announce a new library to ease the development of Cosm-powered applications built by Pete Correia. CosmJS is a lightweight but powerful Javascript library, still in its first iteration but nonetheless packing some great features that we know will make people happy. Here we’re going to show you some of its features which should help you get started using it for your website or application.
The Features
We set out to build a library that would cover our most popular API methods but also had some helper methods, becoming useful for both simple demos and complex applications.
Here’s what you get:
• All API methods for Feeds, Datastreams & Datapoints
• Socket Server support (realtime updates!)
• jQuery plugin
• ~ 2kb gzipped (~ 6kb minified)
• CDN hosted

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
