Seadragon Developer

Seadragon technology enables web experiences where graphics and photos are smoothly browsed, regardless of the amount of data or the bandwidth of the network.

You can create a Seadragon experience using either Silverlight (with Deep Zoom) or JavaScript (with Seadragon Ajax). Either way, you'll want to know how to create Seadragon content.

Seadragon provides:

  1. Speed of navigation independent of the size or number of objects.
  2. Performance that depends only on the ratio of bandwidth to pixels on the screen.
  3. Smooth, continuous, transitions.
  4. Rapid, near perfect scaling for screens of any resolution.
