No setup needed, this is a data feed repository, not a runnable application, you just consume the JSON feed directly.
Status is the data backbone behind a public website that tracks which web technologies Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer support, are building, or have decided not to implement. It exists to give web developers a clear, upfront view of Microsoft's browser roadmap, so they know which features they can safely rely on when building websites. The repository itself doesn't contain a running application. Instead, it holds structured data about web platform features, things like new HTML elements, CSS capabilities, or JavaScript APIs. This data is published as a machine-readable JSON feed, which Microsoft's status website then displays as a readable dashboard. The data is openly licensed under Creative Commons, and Microsoft sets it up so other websites and tools can pull the feed directly into their own pages without running into cross-domain restrictions. Web developers and designers are the primary audience. If you're building a web app and want to know whether features like a specific CSS grid option or a new JavaScript method will work for Edge users, you'd check the dashboard this project powers. Because the data is freely licensed, a developer building an internal toolkit, a browser compatibility dashboard, or a coding course could also pull this feed to show up-to-date browser support information alongside their own content. One notable aspect of the project is how it pools data from multiple sources. While Microsoft maintains the Edge and Internet Explorer support details directly, support information for other browsers like Chrome is pulled from the Chromium Dashboard. This means the project acts partly as an aggregator, combining Microsoft's own roadmap data with external sources to give a broader picture of where web standards stand across the browser landscape.
