Closure Library vs jQuery UI: What are the differences?
Developers describe Closure Library as "Google's common JavaScript library". Closure Library is a powerful, low-level JavaScript library designed for building complex and scalable web applications. It is used by many Google web applications, such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Docs, Google+, Google Maps, and others. On the other hand, jQuery UI is detailed as "Curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library". Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
Closure Library and jQuery UI can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.
Closure Library and jQuery UI are both open source tools. It seems that jQuery UI with 10.7K GitHub stars and 5.06K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Closure Library with 3.23K GitHub stars and 842 GitHub forks.
