picturefill: Detailed Overview & Metrics

v3.0.3(almost 6 years ago)

Picturefill is a JavaScript polyfill that enables responsive images in browsers that do not support the HTML5 <picture> element. It allows developers to use the <picture> element syntax and features like srcset and sizes attributes to deliver different image sources based on the user's viewport size and resolution.

Compared to other image polyfill solutions, Picturefill is lightweight, easy to implement, and provides good browser compatibility. It helps improve the performance and user experience of websites by serving appropriately sized images, reducing unnecessary bandwidth usage, and optimizing image loading.
