What are the benefits of using FBJS vs. an iFrame with jQuery

I am looking into turning a JavaScript app (using jQuery) into a facebook widget, and am wondering what the benefit of using FBJS is over an iFrame with the app's current JavaScript code & libraries... Can any facebook app developers out there comment on this?

Solution

  • Facebook is actually moving away from FBML/FBJS and encouraging developers to use iframes for their pages and applications:
