Glow is an open-source JavaScript library created by the BBC. Development on Glow began in 2007[1], and it was publicly released under an Apache License in July 2009[2].
The rationale for the development of the library, as opposed to using other libraries such as JQuery or YUI, was to meet the BBC's stated targets for cross-browser compatability. The library also contains a number of preconfigured widgets such as the timetable widget[3], that are of particular use in creating a website that uses data that corresponds to times, for example broadcast metadata.
