Google AJAX Libraries API

Google AJAX Libraries API

Sehr komfortable Lösung, die den eigenen Server entlastet und Framework-Updates überflüssig macht. Haken wie so oft: man wird noch abhängiger von Google. Habe diese Seite erstmal angepasst. Die jQuery-Bilbiothek für coldheat.de, wohnt nun bei Google. Vereinfacht sicherlich auch sehr das Mischen diverser Bibliotheken, von dem man eigentlich prinzipiell absehen sollen.

The AJAX Libraries API is a content distribution network and loading architecture for the most popular open source JavaScript libraries. By using the Google AJAX API Loader’s google.load() method, your application has high speed, globaly available access to a growing list of the most popular JavaScript open source libraries including:

  • jQuery
  • prototype
  • script.aculo.us
  • MooTools
  • dojo

Google works directly with the key stake holders for each library effort and accept the latest stable versions as they are released. Once we host a release of a given library, we are committed to hosting that release indefinitely.

The AJAX Libraries API takes the pain out of developing mashups in JavaScript while using a collection of libraries. We take the pain out of hosting the libraries, correctly setting cache headers, staying up to date with the most recent bug fixes, etc.
