A JavaScript Package Manager for Front End Developers

Posted · Category: MIT License, Tools

For front-end developers who crave maintainable assets, Jam is a package manager for JavaScript. Unlike other repositories, they put the browser first. Using a stack of script tags isn’t the most maintainable way of managing dependencies, with Jam packages and loaders like RequireJS you get automatic dependency resolution.

You can achieve faster load times with asynchronous loading and the ability to optimize downloads. JavaScript modules and packages provide properly namespaced and more modular code. Every package work in the browser and play nicely with module loaders like RequireJS. They’re not hijacking an existing repository, they’re creating a 100% browser-focused community.
