Does anyone know if there is an approach to do Javascript Contact management that will work and won't be deprecated within the next few months? As far as I can tell, there is a Javascript Gdata library v1, but that uses AuthSub which will be deprecated within the next couple weeks. I see that the actual gdata contact library will be active until 2015, but I see no documentation on how to make this old library work with OAuath.
Also, as far as I can tell, contacts lib v3 does not have a javascript library, and does not support CORS so I am unable to change to that I believe. So as far as I can tell, doing contact management in Javascript is not possible anymore without using a deprecated technology? Any input anyone else has on this would be appreciated.
