easytoembed

easytoembed is a lightweight, open-source JavaScript library designed to simplify embedding third-party content in web pages and applications. It provides a unified API for various providers such as videos, maps, and widgets, and generates the necessary markup (typically iframes) with minimal configuration.

The library emphasizes a small footprint, accessibility, and developer ergonomics. Key features include a provider registry, automatic provider resolution, responsive embeds, lazy loading, and privacy-friendly defaults that avoid third-party cookies until user interaction. It is designed to be framework-agnostic, with optional wrappers for popular front-end frameworks.

To use via a CDN or npm, load the library and create embed containers in your markup. For example, a page might include a container with data-provider and data-id attributes, then call the initialization function to render the embed. Example: <script src="https://cdn.easytoembed.org/easytoembed.min.js" defer></script> <div class="eit-embed" data-provider="youtube" data-id="dQw4w9WgXcQ"></div> <script>easytoembed.init();</script>.

The library supports secure embedding practices by sandboxing when possible and offering options to restrict attributes and interactions. It also supports responsive sizing, accessible focus management, and progressive enhancement to ensure content remains usable if scripts are blocked.
