[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

For the Live Framework community technology preview (CTP) release, you can use JavaScript or Silverlight to create Mesh-enabled Web applications. The advantage in using JavaScript is that you can use any tools you like to create your application. 

Most of the JavaScript functionality is very similar to the .NET Framework Toolkit for Live Framework. (For details, see Using the .NET Libraries) One important difference is that the Mesh-enabled Web applications are accessed through a user's Mesh, which means that connection and authentication are handled automatically. Another difference is that a Mesh-enabled Web application instance is only given access to the instance's own data.

The reference documents that you can access from the JavaScript Library section shows the namespaces, classes, properties, and methods used in the JavaScript Library. A later release of the SDK documentation will describe each of these elements in greater detail.
