Zoid is a JavaScript toolkit for building cross-domain components that render as iframes or popups on a different domain while passing props, objects, and functions between parent and child windows. It abstracts away postMessage plumbing and provides native bindings for React, Vue, and Angular.

Use cases

• render an iframe component on another domain and pass props and callbacks
• embed a login widget from my site into other sites
• open a popup and communicate with it without dealing with postMessage
• share functionality from my site as an embeddable component
• render a cross-domain component as a React or Angular component
• build data-down actions-up components across domains

When to choose

• you need to embed interactive UI from your domain into third-party pages
• you want iframe/popup communication without hand-rolling postMessage
• you need framework bindings (React, Vue, Angular) for cross-domain widgets

When to avoid

• your components run entirely on a single domain
• you need server-side rendering of the embedded component
• you want a general-purpose state management or micro-frontend solution
