VAST-2.0-spec

Vast 2.0 Proof of concept

Testing

Listed below is the proof of concept VAST tag in correspondence with the VAST_2.0 spec sheet. Currently, I've found we can track activity via our image tags. I'd advise we get in touch with the vendor serving the VAST tag if we want to integrate some javascript into it since some vendors allow us to add javascript and some vendors do not.

The VAST_2.0 specification sheet is publicly available here for reference

Copy the contents of vast_2.0.xml

For convenience, it will be below:
