Plugins:
Collection
Last changed: 15 weeks 21 hours ago
This plugin generates generic collection classes, that work almost exactly as jQuery does.
These collections include all those jQuery functions, that are used to manipulate the collection itself.
The included built-in functions are:
add, andSelf, attr, each, end, eq, extend, filter, get, implement, include, index, init, is, map, not, pushStack, setArray, size and slice.Every collection will have a build() function, that will create a new collection class, that inherits from the caller. $.collection is a collection class by itself. So other collections will inherit from it, or its subclasses.
With this plugin, you can manipulate native data types like String or Array, with your custom methods, without actually modifying their prototype. This is shown in some of the examples below.
If you want additional information and more details about some of the methods.

gettext
Last changed: 10 weeks 1 day ago
This plugin provides basic gettext support for jQuery apps. It loads JSON data, which can be generated easily from standard gettext .po/.mo files. Why go through the additional hassle of .po files? For a small app that needs i18n, one could write the json directly. However, the main advantages I see to gettext are:
- well known editing tools like KBabel, poEdit, gtranslator, Emacs PO mode, etc.
- translation memory, fuzzy matches and other features that become really helpful when your application is big and you have hundreds of strings

graphTable: graph data from HTML table using flot
Last changed: 21 weeks 16 hours ago
graphTable provides the ability to graph the data in a simple HTML table using flot.
Usage:
$('#myTable').graphTable({series:'columns'});graphTable() takes up to two objects as arguments: the first is an object with the arguments for graphTable; the second is an object with arguments to be handed off to flot (read more about flot arguments).
The graphTable arguments let you:
- choose which parts of the table will be used for the graph data
- choose where the graph will go in relation to the table and how big it will be
- run a function on cell contents (to remove dollar signs, for example) before passing them to flot
options for reading the table
defaults will work in most cases except you'll want to override the default args.series if your series are in columns

jCache - A client side jQuery cache plugin
Last changed: 26 weeks 4 days ago
jCache is a plugin made on the idea of a client-side Hashtable (key-value pairs).
Usually to improve web apps performance, you make calls to the server to get data and cache them on the server. This is of course effective, but sometimes not enough, since the browser must wait for the response from server none the less.
Using jCache, the data will be saved into browser's memory and ready to be retrieved later via a key (a good candidate for keys is the ajax URL, for example "products/getProducts.php?start=5&end=10", since it is unique for each cached item). Before any AJAX GET request, a cache check should be made, and if the data is there already, then it should be used without any need to query the server again. This will be lightning fast!

Last changed: 17 weeks 4 days ago
This is a jQuery implementation of SOAP Client and it is based on another jQuery plug-in called xmlObjectifier.
This library provides an easy way to communicate with SOAP web services from the client-side javascript (all domain restrictions are still there). SOAPClient supports complex/nested request objects as well as attributes and values within request object nodes. You can also set Header objects as well.
Practical example of how to use SOAPClient can be found on my site by following Demo link. I also have included a simple ASP.NET Proxy example that will resolve Cross-Browser Restrictions (if you're running IIS w/ ASP.NET)

Metadata
Last changed: 30 weeks 1 day ago
This plugin is capable of extracting metadata from classes, random attributes, and child elements.
For example, you can do:
<li class="someclass {some: 'data'} anotherclass">...</li>
OR
<li data="{some:'random', json: 'data'}">...</li>
OR
<li><script type="data">{some:"json",data:true}</script> ...</li>The default is the first method, but you can always change it by twiddling the options. This means that there is at least one option here that can appease you.
After that you can simply do:
var data = $('li.someclass').metadata();
if ( data.some && data.some == 'data' )
alert('It Worked!');There's also a bunch of options (like the ability to ignore braces {}).
For full documentation see http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Metadata.

Create DOM elements on the fly and automatically append or prepend them to another DOM object.

Features
- Add any element with or without all types of properties or children in any order
- Chainable! Returns last appended/prepended element in jQuery object - but also works on plain DOM elements!
- Accepts inline HTML as string, innerHTML style
- Fixes IE special-cases, like input element creation and children of tables
- Lightweight yet fast! Uses internal jQuery functions for portability while creating DOM nodes and accessing appendChild directly for speed
- AJAX-friendly - SuperFlyDOM takes real JSON objects, perfect for lightweight AJAX (or jQuery's .getJSON) retrieval

Translate
Last changed: 1 week 2 days ago
This plugin integrates the Google Ajax Language API to jQuery. You can just call e.g. $('body').translate('en') but provides callbacks for each translated element too. Or you can pass an array to $.translate to get back a translated array. Currently you can only send at most 500 characters with the raw API per request but this plugin calls them consecutively. It also reduces the number of requests by concatenating elements and doesn't send unnecessary html markup still providing access to each element as they've got translated. It provides a similar function and method for language detection too.
Here's a bookmarklet built on it: http://balazs.endresz.googlepages.com/translatebookmarklet

xmlObjectifier - Converts XML DOM to JSON
Last changed: 10 weeks 4 days ago
The end of DOM Tree walking is here!
This small and fast utility converts an XML file fetched through $.ajax to a JavaScript Object, completely eliminating a need to use DOM Tree walking to extract data. All attributes and values are accessible using dot (.) notation. Besides simplifying the way you access data you can also sort nodes prior further processing. This component can be easily used to write a SOAP or RSS client.
How JSON object is assembled? - this utility is a recursive walker that starts off at the root of your document and creates a new object for each node, and new field for each node attribute. Whenever a a tree walker encounters a text node or a CDATA within your node, it assigns it's value to a .Text field of that js object (object that represents a node). Ex: <node1>Hello World</node1> would be stored at node1.Text
