Photon Client JavaScript SDK readme.
(C) Exit Games GmbH 2017


Overview
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Photon JavaScript library provides a simple to use framework to access the Photon Server
and the Photon Cloud. It works on many up to date browsers using either native WebSocket or
a Flash plugin.
Cross platform communication is possible, so JavaScript clients can send events to DotNet
or native clients. This might require some adjustments on other platforms. This is shown by the
"Particle" demo. The SDK supports 2 APIs.


LoadBalancing API (Photon Realtime)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LoadBalancing API allows to access Photon Cloud Realtime service as well as
Photon Server LoadBalancing Application:
