Please see our [v3 announcement](https://www.polymer-project.org/blog/2017-08-22-npm-modules.html) and [v3 hand-on](https://www.polymer-project.org/blog/2017-08-23-hands-on-30-preview.html) to use a preview version of v3. + ## Overview Polymer is a lightweight library built on top of the web standards-based [Web Components](http://webcomponents.org/) APIs, and makes it easier to build your very own custom HTML elements. Creating reusable custom elements - and using elements built by others - can make building complex web applications easier and more efficient. By being based on the Web Components API's built in the browser (or [polyfilled](https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs) where needed), Polymer elements are interoperable at the browser level, and can be used with other frameworks or libraries that work with modern browsers.
