The Frames Protocol, also known Farcaster Frames, is a simple web-based technology used for making applications.

+

+ It uses HTML without really using HTML, so that Frames Protocol applications work with clients that don't support the Frames Protocol. + The fall-back being OpenGraph. +

+

+ Really, a Frames Protocol application is mostly made up of images and buttons on the client-side (that are specified using HTML <meta> element) with a back-end that gets HTTP POSTed to, which can return a new "page" with an image and buttons, and so on and so on. +

+

+ This choice of just being mostly images and buttons actually makes the Frames Protocol simpler to create a viewer from scatch. + No need to implement all Web technologies. + No need to worry about security and privacy holes that Web technologies introduce. +

Although the Frames Protocol could be used outside of Farcaster, at the time of writing, Farcaster clients (such as Warpcast) are the only major (client-side) platform to support it.
