Polymer is an open-source JavaScript library for building web applications using Web Components. The library is being developed by Google developers and contributors on GitHub. Modern design principles are implemented as a separate project using Google's Material Design design principles.

Polymer is used by a number of Google services and websites, including YouTube, YouTube Gaming, the redesigned Google Earth (since 2017),[6] Google I/O 2015 and 2016 websites, Google Play Music, redesign of Google Sites[7] and Allo for web (until its shutdown in 2019).[8]

Other notable users include Netflix, Electronics Arts, Comcast, Nuxeo, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, BBVA, IBM, Interxion and General Electric.
