embedded citeproc-js (was Continuing development of citeproc-rb)

  1. Is it OK to have so many differing implementations of citeproc?
    More of a philosophical question, but my initial reaction to needing a Ruby
    CSL processor was to find the most compatible one and try to use it from
    Ruby.

Going back to this, I may have mentioned this before, but might be
worth creating Java and C-based libraries or executables that embed
rhino and tracemonkey* respectively?

This seems to suggest doing so is trivial.

  • since the current code relies on E4X, other engines (like, say, V8, are out).

As noted in another thread, citeproc-js now runs in Google Chrome (V8)
and IE6 and above; basically anything that supports the DOM and
roughly adheres to ECMA standards should work.

Awesome!
