Let’s lead with code:

PLAIN TEXT

JAVASCRIPT:

2. Namespace(‘foo.bar’);

3. foo.bar.myFunction = function() {};

5. Namespace(‘com.example’, {

6.    MyClass: function() { return {}; }

7. });

8. var obj = new com.example.MyClass();

10. Namespace.use(‘com.example.MyClass’);

11. var obj2 = new MyClass();

13. // include com/example/RemoteClass.js

14. Namespace.include(‘com.example.RemoteClass’);

15. var obj3 = new com.example.RemoteClass();

17. Namespace.registerNativeExtensions();

18. ‘com.foo.bar’.namespace();

Reading the code above is probably all you need to know about the new, library independant, JavaScript library Namespace.js, created by Maxime Bouroumeau-Fuseau.

The goals for the library are:

• Simple API
• Framework independent
• Remote file loading (synchronously or async)
• Tested against Firefox 3.x, Safari 3.x, IE 6/7 and Opera 9.5
• Highly configurable
• Events
• Optionally add methods to native objects
