JAK the code name for a very sophisticated enterprise level Javascript API. It grew out of earlier work I pioneered from back in 2000 which helped lay the foundation of DHTML, AJAX, JSON, etc. Originally I this Javascript API was more of a toolkit such as Prototype, and JQuery are today and it was based on the 1K API (originally called AEF API which reached version 2).
Javascript has made some significant steps fore ward since 2000, and so I decided to overhaul my tool kit into a true Javascript API. In fact my vision for most of the core functions in this API commands moved out of the API and into the interpreter.
Javascript API Compressed Kernel (known as JACK) is less then 1.5 KB thanks to JSMin. If your site uses GZIP compression this is reduced down to the byte range often less then 700 KB (nearly all servers / browsers support GZIP). This robust API allows programmers to build unobtrusive code using more standards with less work. In a Nutshell:
JAK fits into a website much like a traditional OS Kernel. It is advised you use a Loader script (similair to a bootstrap) to load JAK. First it reads the Configuration (equivelent to a boot.ini) and JAK (Javascript Kernel) into memory. When it is fully loaded, it then in turn uses JAK to load other modules recursivly. Below is the ideal model for using JAK to fit into your website:
