Changelog #017

Feb 23rd, 2024 - Lazy Loading Performance Boosts

Lazy Loading Performance Boosts

We shipped lazy loading this week! This is a big win for performance, we can load super large OpenAPI Spec files with a breeze now.

Below is a video showcasing us loading a 10MB OpenAPI Spec file in Scalar with no problems, before it would freeze the browser which is definitely not ideal.

Switch CodeMirror to Prism

We swapped out CodeMirror for Prism which improved performance and also reduced our bundle size by 17%! CodeMirror is amazing, but we really only needed highlighting functionality for displaying code.
