Overview
--------

The web fragments library provides a Python and Django implementation for
managing fragments of web pages. In particular, this library refactors the
fragment code from XBlock into a standalone implementation.

A Django view subclass called FragmentView is provided which supports three
different ways of rendering a fragment into a page:

* the fragment can be rendered as a standalone page at its own URL
* the fragment can be rendered into another page directly from Django
* the fragment can be returned as JSON so that it can be rendered client-side

The rationale behind this design can be found in `OEP-12`_.

.. _OEP-12: https://open-edx-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architectural-decisions/oep-0012-arch-fragment-views.html

The intention is that a client-side implementation will be provided in a
subsequent version. This should provide JavaScript code to request fragements
over AJAX and then dynamically update the current page. This logic will be a
refactoring of the current implementation in edx-platform for rendering XBlocks.
It is also intended that this functionality will enhance the capabilities
around dependency loading.
