Per easyXDM
At the core easyXDM provides a transport stack capable of passing string based messages between two windows, a consumer (the main document) and a provider (a document included using an iframe). It does this by using one of several available techniques, always selecting the most efficient one for the current browser. For all implementations the transport stack offers bi-directionality, reliability, queueing and sender-verification.
