library

A  library  in this context typically refers to a software library, and sometimes to a physical library, like a personal library that an independent may use to collect books they have read.

A software library is re-usable software, often open source, that you can use (call out to) to implement common functionality in your own software. Software libraries typically augment (rather than replace) existing programming languages and platforms.

Software Examples

 * cassis.js (combined PHP and JS library)
 * link rel parser libraries
