Glow – Open Source Javascript Library by BBC

Glow is a JavaScript library which aims to make working with JavaScript and the DOM easier. It tries to do this by abstracting common tasks, hiding cross-browser issues, and providing a set of user interface widgets. Glow isn’t the BBC’s first JavaScript library, although it is the first to be released as open source software.

There are a range of excellent open source JavaScript libraries available nowadays. However, on reviewing the major libraries, BBC found that none met their standards and guidelines, with browser support in particular being a major issue. Therefore, they decided to build a JavaScript library tailored to their requirements. Naming it Glow.

Glow is available under the Apache Licence, Version 2.0. This allows you to use the library in nearly all circumstances, and to modify it as you see fit.
