# Cornerstone
Cornerstone is an open source project with a goal to deliver a complete web based medical imaging platform.
This documentation focuses on Cornerstone Core, which is a lightweight JavaScript library for displaying medical images in modern web browsers that support the HTML5 canvas element. Cornerstone Core is not meant to be a complete application itself, but rather a component that can be used as part of larger, more complex applications.
While this documentation grows, the old GitHub wiki (opens new window) may be a better source.
