<p class=‘diigo-description’> Handy link to the main JavaScript libraries for including in projects if you prefer to deliver them from a worldwide location (e.g. Google). This can be faster if your web server is regional but the reach of your web application is global, if you are expecting high visitor numbers or always want to deliver the latest version of the library without having to worry about copying to your web server.
