Force.com Canvas

Enhance your user experience, expand your Salesforce footprint, and unlock the power of your developers with the new Force.com Canvas feature, now available to all new Developer Edition Orgs. Force.com Canvas features include:

Language Independence

You develop it and we display it. With Force.com Canvas you can develop in the language of your choice and easily surface the app inside of Salesforce.

JavaScript SDK

Lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript libraries allow your app to authenticate and communicate without having to deal with cross-domain network issues. This provides your users with a single command center to drive all their apps.

Simplified Authentication

Force.com Canvas allows you to authenticate by using OAuth 2.0 or a signed request. This means that your app can connect to Salesforce at a data layer while remaining seamless for users.

App Registration and Management

Developers: Create your app and allow your customers to install it with a single click. Administrators: Easily install apps from developers and quickly manage who in your org can use the app.

The Force.com Canvas SDK is an open-source suite of JavaScript libraries and provides simple methods that use existing Salesforce APIs (SOAP API, REST API, Chatter REST API) so you can build a seamless end-user experience inside of salesforce.com.

With the Force.com Canvas SDK, you can now integrate your Web app with the trusted salesforce.com platform: Your language, your code.
