OpenSocial Container Specification

To meet the requirements of the OpenSocial container specification, a container must implement the specifications for a social API server as well as a social gadget container (both of which have been described in detail in the preceding sections).

The main capabilities of a full OpenSocial container implementation are:

  • Allowing developers to build applications within the container that can leverage its social data

  • Providing a means by which users can pull data (social or otherwise) from the container and onto third-party sites or applications
