Javascript libraries that makes your life easy.
I have used several Javascript libraries, each with its own set of features. While most of the libraries provides basic DOM utility, ajax and events supports, some also provide Drag & Drop, Animation, JSON support. Before you embark on any library, read the documentation and check if it meets your requirements.- Yahoo User Interface Library - YUI: I have used this library for the SVG Application.
- Prototype: Library for Ajax and DOM manipulation
- Script.aculo.us: Based on prototype library, has very good animation and drag & drop libraries.
- Mochikit: A lightweight library, based on ideas taken from python language.
- JQuery: A fast, concise, JavaScript Library
- Dojo Toolkit: Everything you need to build complex Javascript apps
- Lightbox: Simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the web page.
Have your say
