We are excited to announce that Fluid Framework 2 is now generally available and ready for production applications! It is the result of the insights we gained from enabling real-time collaboration in Microsoft and partner applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we first introduced Fluid Framework, it has been used extensively both within Microsoft and by external customers to build real-time collaborative experiences. With FF 2, we\u2019re making it even easier, more flexible and intuitive to build real-time collaborative applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Loop<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Microsoft Loop is powered by Fluid Framework and SharePoint Embedded, which is now also available for everyone to use.<\/p>\n

Edge Workspaces<\/strong><\/a> – Workspaces in Microsoft Edge provide an incredible way for users to separate their browsing tasks into dedicated windows. Each workspace has its own set of tabs and favorites, all created and curated by collaborators in real-time with features like live presence powered by Fluid Framework.<\/p>\n

Additionally, our industry partners like A2MAC1<\/a>, Autodesk and Hexagon<\/a> have been building incredible real-time collaboration experiences for their audiences.<\/p>\n

FF 2 contains the following major updates:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. SharedTree Distributed Data Structure (DDS)<\/strong> \u2013 A new, powerful and flexible DDS designed to keep hierarchical data synchronized between clients.<\/li>\n
  2. SharePoint Embedded Support<\/strong> \u2013 A new relay and storage solution that allows you to keep the Fluid collaborative data within SharePoint for a Microsoft 365 tenant.<\/li>\n
  3. Fluid DevTools<\/strong> \u2013 A browser extension that helps developers when writing and debugging Fluid applications.<\/li>\n
  4. Typed Telemetry and App Insights support<\/strong> \u2013 A flexible package that provides Typed telemetry events that you can funnel to your analytics tool of choice or use the included Azure App Insights connector for data visualization and analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    SharedTree Distributed Data Structure (DDS)<\/h2>\n

    The new SharedTree<\/a> Distributed Data Structure (DDS) provides an intuitive programming interface for working with data and supports a broad range of data types including primitives, objects, arrays, and maps. In addition to including standard data manipulation operations (add, remove, update, move) for these data types, it also includes features like:<\/p>\n

    Undo\/Redo<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The ability to listen for changes and track revertible objects on your undo\/redo stacks. Revertibles allow you to undo and redo changes even if other changes have been made in remote clients.<\/p>\n

    Transactions<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0You can group multiple changes such that they are applied atomically, and if they fail, they fail atomically. As a result of grouping changes in a transaction, you also get a single revertible object making it easier to undo and redo.<\/p>\n

    Events<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0We have updated the Events to make it easier to create granular event listeners for single nodes and better support the undo\/redo feature.<\/p>\n

    Schema improvements<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Schemas are even more powerful now with the added support for recursive types, which allows you to define types that reference nodes of the same type in their subtree.<\/p>\n
