Closure Library is a broad, well-tested, modular, and cross-browser JavaScript library. Web developers can pull just what they need from a wide set of reusable UI widgets and controls, as well as lower-level utilities for the DOM, server communication, animation, data structures, unit testing, rich-text editing, and much, much more.

The source code is licensed under the Apache license and available at [code.google.com...]

It comes with a JavaScript optimizer, a set of templates, and a code inspector. I haven't had a chance yet to test the code, but from the description it looks pretty impressive.

Very interesting. I wonder how the Closure Compiler compares (with regards to file size) with the YUI Compressor.
