PreloadJS is a JavaScript library that simplifies preloading assets like images, sounds, JavaScript, fonts, JSON, and text in the browser. It provides a consistent loading API with aggregate progress events, using XHR2 when available and falling back to tag-based loading otherwise.
Use cases
- preload game assets before starting a level
- show a loading bar with aggregate progress for multiple files
- load images, sounds, and fonts with a single consistent API
- load a manifest of files in the browser
- fallback asset loading when XHR is unavailable
When to choose
- you need coordinated preloading of many mixed asset types in the browser
- you want unified progress events across multiple file loads
- you are building HTML5 games or media-heavy pages on the CreateJS stack
When to avoid
- you only need to load one or two resources with native fetch
- you are bundling assets with a modern build tool that handles preloading
- you need server-side asset loading in Node.js
