Created March 10, 2014 15:22 — forked from jookyboi/javascript_resources.md
Here are a set of libraries, plugins and guides which may be useful to your Javascript coding.

Libraries

  • jQuery - The de-facto library for the modern age. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
  • Backbone - Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
  • AngularJS - Conventions based MVC framework for HTML5 apps.
  • Underscore - Underscore is a utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects.
  • lawnchair - Key/value store adapter for indexdb, localStorage

JSON format for SWU.

I believe all the files can be processed into a single JSON file with the following format.

{
    "public-figures": ["first last", "first last", ...],
    "businesses": ["name", ...],
    "organizations": ["name", ...],
    "private-individuals": ["first last", ...],
    "members-of-congress": ["first last", ...]
