About CreateJS

CreateJS is a survivor of a migration. When the browser plugin era ended, an enormous body of animated and interactive content had to be rebuilt against the canvas element, and the suite gave that work a display list, a tween engine, an audio layer, and a preloader behind an API deliberately shaped like the one Flash authors already knew. Released in 2011 by gskinner Inc. under the MIT licence and later adopted by Adobe as an export target, the library became the landing place for content that used to be a plugin movie.

Presence on a page therefore points at content more often than at application code. Banner and rich media advertising, e-learning modules, interactive infographics, museum and kiosk pieces, games embedded into publisher pages, and animation exported from an authoring tool by someone who never wrote a line of the library by hand. A team choosing a JavaScript graphics for a new product in October 2026 rarely chooses this one. A team maintaining something valuable that was authored years ago very often still ships it.

As of October 2026 we detect the suite on 1,498 sites, and the figure should be read as a lower bound for a specific reason. Detection is dependable when the library loads from a recognizable filename or a hosted path, and it degrades the moment a build step bundles and minifies the code into an application file alongside everything else. Advertising creatives are a second blind spot, because a creative served inside a third party frame is not part of the page a crawler records. What survives detection therefore skews toward the unbundled script tag style of integration, which is also the style most likely to be old.

Value of the list follows directly from that skew. A maintainer estimating how much of the web still depends on an animation runtime nobody is actively developing needs a population rather than a sample. A security researcher tracing pages that pull JavaScript from third party hosts their owners no longer control needs the domains themselves. An agency selling rebuilds, a vendor selling a modern authoring tool, and an ad platform planning to deprecate a legacy creative format are all looking for the same thing, which is the set of sites that made a technology choice under conditions that have since disappeared. A single domain lookup cannot describe a population, and this library is interesting mainly as a population.
