|
| 43 | #### bower's component.json
|
| 44 | Bower has now their own [bower.json](https://github.com/bower/bower.json-spec)
|
| 45 | file. But in earlier versions they used
|
| 46 | [component.json](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/twitter-bower/Dcq8G0en1WI).
|
| 47 | Some properties of `bower.json` and [component's](https://github.com/componentjs/spec/blob/master/component.json/specifications.md) `component.json` have the
|
| 48 | same name, but there is no `scripts` property, so `bower.json` is not compatible
|
| 49 | with component.

|
| 53 | #### webcomponents
|
| 54 | Web Components are a collection of standards which are working their way
|
| 55 | through the W3C. They enable truly encapsulated and reusable components for
|
| 56 | the web. And if you think HTML5 changed the web, wait to see what Web
|
| 57 | Components will do.
