What are effective methods / strategies for embedding content on external websites?

Question

I have HTML / JavaScript content on my website that I want other websites to embed.

What are some good strategies? Should I send json with a script to insert? Should I create an iframe for the widget?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Can someone describe how this is done in general? How to enable settings? Through the rest?

Depends on the intent of your content - in the past I was happy with iframe, but sometimes I prefer to load external content using ajax. I usually try to avoid iframes because they are difficult for the skin.
