ISHML stands for Interactive Story grapH Management Library, but call it "Ishmael." It's a JavaScript library that facilitates writing interactive fiction (text adventure) applications for modern web browsers. The ISHML library has straightforwardly named properties and methods, many of which are chainable. Code written with ISHML is highly readable and intuitive.
Eventually, ISHML will address all aspects of creating interactive fiction. For now, though, ISHML is just a really flexible and powerful parser and text generation system that integrates easily into your projects.
It's open source and licensed under the ISC license.
