Introduction

Welcome to the prose documentation. Prose is an open source and free Javascript engine (sdk) to display epub and general archives (zip, cbz, cbr, etc) on the browser.

It is similar to what powers apps like Kindle, Kobo and other reading app alike. Unlike proprietary engines, this one is free and made for the community. It is designed to allow plugins and extends functionalities easily.

This engine is web based. Using it in native apps is expected but will require a WebView or similar to be integrated. It is however much easier to integrate for web apps by design.

prose is aiming to continue what was started by https://github.com/futurepress/epub.js or https://readium.org by bringing a up to date and actively maintained library.
