OxJS (pronounced oh-ex-jay-ess) is a comprehensive JavaScript library, originally developed for the media archive platform pan.do/ra. While it still has bugs, holes, design errors and lots of cruft, some parts of it may already be of interest to a wider audience.

The core of OxJS is Ox.js, a general-purpose utility library. It embraces functional programming, supports modules, provides lots of tools to deal with dates, has all the missing math methods (plus some more for geographic coordinates) and helper functions for strings and regular expressions, fixes type detection and equality testing, includes utilities to handle HTML, the DOM and remote requests, can tokenize and minify JavaScript, comes with its own documentation format, including inline tests, and does many other cool things.
