Jam is a JavaScript package manager for front-end developers who crave maintainable assets.  Unlike other repositories, Jam puts the browser first.

Features

• Manage dependencies - 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.
• Fast and modular - Achieve faster load times with asynchronous loading and the ability to optimize downloads. JavaScript modules and packages provide properly namespaced and more modular code.
• Use with existing stack - Jam manages only your front-end assets, the rest of your app can be written in your favourite language or framework. Node.js tools can use the repository directly with the Jam API.
• Custom builds - No more configuring custom builds of popular libraries. Now, every build can be optimized automatically depending on the parts you use, and additional components can always be loaded later.
• Focus on size - Installing multiple versions works great on the server, but client-side we don’t want five versions of jQuery! Jam can use powerful dependency resolution to find a working set of packages using only a single version of each.
• 100% browser - Every package you see here will work in the browser and play nicely with module loaders like RequireJS. We’re not hijacking an existing repository, we’re creating a 100% browser-focused community!
