Golem Network releases a new JS API and brings decentralized computing power to the browser

Golem Network is excited to announce the release of a new JavaScript API, which has undergone significant changes to make it more accessible and user-friendly for JS developers. The new API is now extremely simplified compared to the previous version, making it easier to utilize and allowing users to run tasks directly from the browser.

By creating a new JS API, Golem Network allows JS developers to access faster computing in a more simple way. Users will be able to experience running tasks in just three lines of code and better understand how it works thanks to the JS native coding style. Besides, now they can have control over the process of choosing providers and signing agreements for using computational resources on the Golem Network.

Łukasz Piłatowski, Technical Product Owner at Golem Factory, said: “Our aim is to provide a way of accessing the Golem Network tailored for JS developers, adjusted to their workflow. With the new JS API, JS developers can use the Golem Network for running tasks directly from the browser and utilize Golem as a computational backend. Now, they can  easily integrate Golem into their existing projects and take advantage of its decentralized computing power.”

“We love this change because it allows our community and users to run tasks directly from the browser,” added Adrian Pietraszkiewicz, Marketing Director at Golem Factory. “Three lines of code and you can experience the superpower of our open-source platform. After Dapp-runner and Dapp-manager, JS API is the next step in lowering the barrier to entry for developers who want to implement a decentralized philosophy in their everyday tools.”

JS developers interested in using Golem to access computational resources don’t need advanced JavaScript coding knowledge. Understanding how to execute node.js scripts and being able to include third party libraries into an HTML file is enough to get the new Golem JS API up and running. This simplification of the installation process and the direct access through the browser lowers the barriers for developers to build decentralized applications on the Golem platform.
