JavaScript Libraries

Overview

JavaScript’s ecosystem includes thousands of libraries that extend the language’s built-in capabilities. This section covers notable libraries used for DOM manipulation, drag-and-drop interactions, audio playback, rich text editing, data visualization, and other UI concerns.

These libraries complement core JavaScript and framework knowledge documented in JavaScript, Svelte, and React.
