Is platform.js considered "Polymer"?

polymer

Solution

Ajay's comment is correct: `platform.js` is not strictly a part of Polymer.

`platform.js` contains the polyfills to provide Web Components technology on non-supporting browsers.

But I don't see the word Polymer being mentioned.

It's part of the appeal of Web Components that you do not need to know the underlying technology to use a custom element. Polymer elements import `polymer.html` internally to provide the necessary code, but you never need to be aware of this if you don't care.

Problem

I've been studying web components, and have gotten Google charts working. It requires ``` bower_components/platform/platform.js bower_components/google-chart/google-chart.html ``` But I don't see the word Polymer being mentioned. Is platform.js considered Polymer, or do I need to include some sort of Polymer for cross browser compatibility?
