Getting started with Closure Library

Pointers to resources to help get started with the Closure Library

Introduction

Closure Library is the JavaScript library behind many of Google's heavy-duty web applications. It's a wide but modularized library, using a namespacing and dependency system separate out classes and utilities, allowing web developers to pull "only what you need".

The Closure Library modules include:

• reusable UI widgets and controls
• utilities for DOM manipulation
• classes for server communication
• animation utilities
• data structure implementations
• a unit testing system
• rich-text editing
• a whole lot more

Cool! Where do I start?

To start, see the Closure Library Documentation , check the Frequently Asked Questions, and look through the Resources for Closure Library.

You should also browse the source -- each file, class, method, and function is documented.

Also, check out the rest of the Closure Tools: Closure Compiler , and Closure Templates.
