Introducing Alloy.js: The Ultimate Adobe Web SDK for Simplified Data Management

The Need for a Unified JavaScript Tag: Enter Alloy.js

Over the years, Adobe has developed or acquired several JavaScript libraries, each with its own unique functions, history, and interdependencies. Libraries such as AppMeasurement.js, mbox.js, at.js, DIL.js, and Visitor.js have helped power Adobe's powerful suite of tools. However, as Adobe continued to build and enhance its technology stack, customers began asking: why can’t we have a single JavaScript tag and library for all Adobe solutions?

Adobe heard this call and delivered—introducing Alloy.js.

What is Alloy.js?

Alloy.js, also known as the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK, is a unified library that consolidates the best features of Adobe's current JavaScript libraries. It’s designed to support multiple Adobe solutions, including:

• Adobe Experience Platform

• Adobe Analytics

• Adobe Audience Manager

• Adobe Target

With Alloy.js, you only need to send a single beacon to a single destination. The platform then maps the data server-side and sends it to the appropriate Adobe solutions. This approach simplifies implementation and reduces the complexity of managing multiple libraries.

Why Choose Alloy.js?

Alloy.js offers several advantages for Adobe users:

1. Simplified Data Management: With Alloy.js, you no longer need to deal with multiple JavaScript libraries. One tag, one beacon—it's that simple.

2. Streamlined Integration: Alloy.js is designed to seamlessly integrate with Adobe Experience Platform, making it easier to stream data, sync identities, and personalize content across Adobe's ecosystem.

3. Flexibility: Whether you're using Adobe Analytics, Adobe Audience Manager, or Adobe Target, Alloy.js can handle the data collection and management across all platforms.
