Welcome to Kiwi
===============
Bokeh's JavaScript version of Kiwi
==================================

Kiwi is an efficient C++ implementation of the Cassowary constraint solving
algorithm. Kiwi is an implementation of the algorithm based on the seminal
Cassowary paper. It is *not* a refactoring of the original C++ solver. Kiwi
has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and fast. Kiwi ranges
from 10x to 500x faster than the original Cassowary solver with typical use
cases gaining a 40x improvement. Memory savings are consistently > 5x.

In addition to the C++ solver, Kiwi ships with hand-rolled Python bindings.
This package provides the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm
re-implemented in JavaScript so that it can be used for computing
layouts in client-side web applications like Bokeh. This version
started from the nucleic/kiwi C++ implementation of the algorithm,
but is now pure JavaScript.
