ff javascript library is a minimal library meant to develop real-life Javascript-enabled Web sites. ff javascript library offers a cross-brower API for all common browsers.
That is, all w3 standards compatible browsers (Mozilla/Firefox, Opera, Safari/Konqueror, etc.) on one side and Internet Explorer on the other side. At less than 7kb for the compressed Javascript version and even less than 3kb for the gzipped version, it offers quick loading even for dialup users.
Main features:
- Crossbrowser AJAX, Event and DOM functions offering the same API for w3 DOM compatible browsers and Internet Explorer.
- DOM helper functions and a DOM builder allowing to easily create complex DOM trees.
- Firebug support / emulation. If the library is executed on firefox with firebug installed it uses firebugs logging and error reporting functions -- otherwise it sets up a firebug emulation. This emulation by default does nothing and logs to a debug DIV when the URL parameter "ffdebug=1" is passed to the document.
- ScriptDoc comments enabling Code Assist functionality in Aptana
Enhancements:
- The DOM Builder supports the tabindex attribute.
- The ff.extend function was added.
- The DOM Builder ignores null arguments now.

JavaScript::App is a Perl framework for building dynamic widgets or full applications in Javascript.

SYNOPSIS

see the documentation for "js-app" ("man js-app" or "perldoc js-app")

"js-app" is a Javascript Application framework with which you can build rich web applications and widgets embeddable in web pages.

Javascript Flickr Slideshow is a slideshow that shows images from Flickr.com. You can specify tags and/or users to limit the slideshow.
Javascript Flickr Slideshow uses the "canvas" object, works in Firefox and Internet Explorer using the excanvas.js library, and integrates into any Web page.
Enhancements:
- A bug that caused Internet Explorer to crash when refreshing a page was fixed.
- The API was expanded to handle image and canvas tags.

php file browser is a simple Web-based file browser.
php file browser allows the user to upload files, delete, copy, make directories and paste files and directories. It has two access levels: one for admin, one for guest.
Access for guests can be optionally password protected.
Enhancements:
- A PHP file source viewer was added.
- The directory lister now works much faster than in older versions.
- Big changes were made in the class files.

Epoch JavaScript Calendar and DatePicker runs on all major browsers and features a fast user interface, multiple date selection, flat or popup modes, CSS styling, automatic date formatting, full object-oriented design, and more. Epoch DHTML JavaScript Calendar is available in over a dozen major international languages.
Main features:
- Fast loading and initialization
- Intuitive, customizable interface
- Compatible with all Modern Browsers - see compatibility chart below.
- Can display as a Flat or Popup (DatePicker) calendar
- Automatic Date Formatting - US, European, or create your own!
- Multiple-Date selection - by clicking on calendar cells or the day & week headings.

JavaScript::Minifier is a Perl translation of jsmin.c.

SYNOPSIS

use JavaScript::Minifier;
my $obj = new JavaScript::Minifier;
$obj->minify(*STDIN, *STDOUT);

use JavaScript::Minifier qw(jsmin);
jsmin(*STDIN, *STDOUT);

This work is a translation from C to Perl of jsmin.c published by Douglas Crockford. Permission is hereby granted to use the Perl version under the same conditions as the jsmin.c on which it is based.

Refer to the JSMin website for further information: http://javascript.crockford.com/jsmin.html
Speed is a bit slower than the python version and the python and perl versions are quite a bit slower than the c version(of course).

Here are test results processing a 71K javascript file. This is one of the largest we have -- most are considerably smaller.

| wall clock seconds(approximate)
---------------------------------------
Perl: | 1.4
Python: | 1.0
C: | 0.03

Tests performed on a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz under no load.

Fork JavaScript project is a general purpose, namespaced JavaScript library with Ajax, Events, DOM manipulation. There are a few bonus lines of code specifically for use with Ruby on Rails but Fork can be happily used outside of Rails also.
Main features:
- an aspiration for the highest quality code
- author documentation
- documented limitations (all libs have them but dont report them)
- in-browser unit/integration tests
- tested in a wide set of browsers.
- functions to help create gracefully degrading web pages
- namespaced code
- does not augment JavaScript built-in prototypes
- does not add a layer of sugar on top of JavaScript to make writing JavaScript like writing in another language
- minimizable with jsmin and includes already minimized versions
- MIT License
- plugin for tight integration with Ruby on Rails
Why?
There are many JavaScript libraries out there. Why add another one to the list? To create a quality library with a liberal license.
I like Ruby on Rails. The Rails default Prototype JavaScript library does not suit many development situations and contains code that makes developing for a wide selection of browsers difficult or impossible. Prototype has some great ideas in its mix but the implementation quality has been questioned many times. Prototype has influenced many JavaScript libraries and some of Prototypes best ideas have also influenced the Fork API.
Because Fork is a namespaced library, you may be able to use both Fork and Prototype simultaneously as you transition from one to the other.
I like the Yahoo! UI library. Of the JavaScript libraries Ive used it has the best API. The YUI library has many valuable nuggets of information about browser bugs and workarounds. The approach of YUI suits browser scripting well.
However there are more than a few places in the code where Im left scratching my head and thinking "why did they do that?" Probably that is how every developer looks at another developers code. The YUI API is the starting point for much of the Fork API.
Most libraries seem to develop too quickly. I like the general debian attitude of careful growth because the browser execution environment is wildly varied and deserves a certain degree of conservatism in the JavaScript we send to it.
