Introducing Ably LiveObjects

With this release, ably-js now supports LiveObjects.

Ably LiveObjects enables effortless realtime synchronization of application state across multiple users and devices at any scale. When a LiveObject is updated, changes are automatically propagated to all subscribed clients in realtime, ensuring that everyone always sees the latest state.

The ably-js implementation for LiveObjects provides a simple, purpose-built API that handles realtime synchronization, persistence, and convergence behind the scenes.

See our official documentation to learn more about LiveObjects and how to start synchronizing your application state using Ably.
