Glow is a JavaScript library, built by BBC that aims to make working with JavaScript and the DOM easier, similar to the popular ones like jQuery, MooTools, etc.
It tries to do this by abstracting common tasks, hiding cross-browser issues, and providing a set of user interface widgets.
on reviewing the major libraries we found that none met our standards and guidelines, with browser support in particular being a major issue.
The library is very well-documented & it already comes with various ready-to-use widgets like:
- autosuggest
- carousel
- overlay (lightbox)
- slider
- timetable
- & more..
Several demos are provided to see Glow in action
