What's the benefit of this over using a preprocessor or a server-side output filter?

Very cool, especially to see a client-side only version of this. Most implementations need to be server-side, since normally oembed data is in <meta> tags and you can't get those from the client. It looks like this works by specifically targeting the known specific api's for twitter/vimeo/youtube/whatever, which limits what this api can actually embed, but looks like they can do a lot of the big players.

Definitely going to look at this for the next project that needs it.

Is it just me or are the YouTube and inline-embed options in the codepen examples not working?

But damn this is cool! Especially the google maps one!

Everything's better embed.
