Hi,

I was using IExtensionPromise interface to handle some asynchronous operations with a BUI extension. I noticed that the behavior of IExtensionPromise slightly differs from that of native JavaScript Promise.

IExtensionPromises behave more like pre-3.0 jQuery's promises. It has the same 'Error Handling' problems as described in this stackoverflow post about jQuery promises. Due to these issues, I was considering using the native Promise for my extension. I have these questions,

  1. Is IExtensionPromise Promises/A+ compliant?
  2. Would using native JavaScript Promise instead of IExtensionPromise pose any issues/risks with my program?
  3. Is there any inherent benefit or extra capability provided by the Extensibility framework's IExtensionPromise?
