AAC.js Is a AAC Decoder for JavaScript, Written on Top of Aurora.js

Interest in JavaScript is at all-time high. With the web more powerful than ever, thanks to HTML5, CSS3, WebGL and beyond, interest in web apps or mobile apps built with web technologies is growing. But increasingly powerful apps need an increasingly powerful ecosystem to draw from.

Official.fm Labs is doing its part with a set of audio decoders built on top of the Aurora.js framework, also created by them. A few weeks ago, FLAC.js was released enabling web developers to add support for FLAC files to their apps via native web technologies.

The new AAC.js library does the same for AAC files, popularized by Apple and the iTunes Store. AAC files are among the most common, second only to MP3s, so support for them is important to any music app on the web.

You can check out the source code for AAC.js, along with Aurora.js here, but also on GitHub.
