-API Utils provides a basic CommonJS infrastructure for
-developing traditional XULRunner add-ons and applications. It is
-the basis for the Add-on SDK.
-
-To address issues present in traditional add-on development,
-API Utils provides mechanisms for:
-
-* writing and executing test cases, inspired by Python's [nose][]
- package,
-* tracking JS objects of interest to aid in memory profiling and leak
- detection,
-* registering callbacks that perform cleanup tasks when modules are
- unloaded,
-* easily reporting errors with full stack tracebacks.
-
-API Utils also has the following characteristics:
-
-* Beautiful, concise documentation.
-* A rigorous test suite ensuring that the library doesn't break as the
- Mozilla platform evolves.
-* Solid developer ergonomics ensuring that developers can easily find
- out why something they're doing isn't working.
-
-API Utils is intended to be very small and only contain the bare
-minimum of functionality that all add-ons need.
-
-Note that the API Utils package has not fully stabilized yet, meaning that
-we do still expect to make incompatible changes to its APIs in future releases
-of the SDK.
