It can be downloaded to a local copy directly from GitHub, or installed via Bower:

bower install Chatanyara.js

Or via npm:

npm install chatanyara.js

Also available via jsDelivr - Open Source CDN.

Usage

In order to retrieve the values for the given performance related features, it can be done as shown:

var results = Chatanyara.parse();

Please note that it should be done no sooner than document has been loaded, preferably after all assets have also been fully loaded.

The results will contain something similar as shown below, in case none of the features are supported:

{
  url: '/',
  userAgent: 'Mozilla 5 ...',
  navigation: false,
  resource: false,
  memory: false
}

Depending on the browser, the keys navigation, resource and memory will provide further information about each related performance API.

In a recent Google Chrome, the results could be something similar to:

{
  url: "/tests/index.html",
  userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1870.2 Safari/537.36",
