Re: [Exist-development] Using JavaScript Libraries

[Thomas W. <tho...@gm...>]

Yes we can keep only one version per library but ir is still good idea
to have the version included in the file name. Both jQuery library and
jQuery plugins file's names already follow this practice.

About the the single implementation - it is like asking Nikon users to
use Canon :-).  jQuery and Yahoo and many other JS libraries will have
their followers for many good reasons. jQuery is 118kb and 56kb
minfielded, Yahoo JS  is about 1Mb. These file sizes are much smaller
then most of the other files in the installation. I do not think sizes
of the JS files will be ever an issue.
