The processing language introduced by Ben Fry and Casey Reas is simple and elegent language for data visualization that is used by artists, educators as well as commercial media to delivery rich graphical content. There is a large body of work around the world which had been previously developed using processing however, this is largely not something that is consistently delivered through a web page. This is due to the fact that processing was originally developed with Java and thus delivering Processing sketches required that the user install a java plugin. Furthermore the sketches themselves were self contained items as opposed to being part of a web page. That is, the elements of the Document Object Model (DOM) of a webpage could not interact with it or vice versa.

Processing.js seamlessly integrates web technologies with the processing language to provide an accessible framework for multimedia web applications.
