    I ofen see polyfill words in documents. I wonder know what it points?

    I quote wikipedia:

    In web development, a polyfill is code that implements a feature on web browsers that do not support the feature. Most often, it refers to a JavaScript library that implements an HTML5 web standard, either an established standard (supported by some browsers) on older browsers, or a proposed standard (not supported by any browsers) on existing browsers. Formally, "a polyfill is a shim for a browser API".

    As a result, polyfill is a tools supporting a no-built in feature.

    It is not just belong to web browsers,more than web development.

    简单点说兼容新老浏览器的库就是 polyfill,否则不是。例如,jQuery 不是,Polymer, FlashCavas 是。

    If you want to use an edge or modern feature on a widespread old browser (e.g. es2015 Promises), you can use the polyfill (e.g. Promises-polyfill), if the new feature is not internal provided but can be implemented within the current javascript's scope.
