The framework that powers Facebook’s Paper content presentation app is being made publicly available to help developers create Apple iOS apps that scroll more smoothly.</p><p>
The AsyncDisplayKit can be used to build a graphical interface for iPhones and iPads that scrolls and transitions between different views more smoothly than those developed using most standard interface frameworks (https://code.facebook.com/posts/721586784561674/introducing-asyncdisplaykit-for-smooth-and-responsive-apps-on-ios/), said Nadine Salter, a Facebook iOS engineer involved in the project.</p><p>
AsyncDisplayKit (http://asyncdisplaykit.org/) would be particularly useful for building complex applications “where traditional performance optimization approaches have been unable to achieve smooth interactions, or where developers spend a lot of time and effort trying to keep performance in an acceptable range,” Salter said via email.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2834355/facebook-opens-smooth-scrolling-paper-framework-for-ios.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
