AJAX Libraries

Recently I came across open source AJAX libraries like JQuery, prototype, script_aculo_us etc. Most of them offer similar features and developers wonder which one to use and how to keep up with new versions, bug fixes, etc.

The AJAX Libraries API is an effort from Google to takes the pain out of staying up to date with these libraries. Google works directly with the key stake holders for each library effort and accepts the latest stable versions. And host them forever.

Developers would just need to use google.load(...) to use the required version of the api.
