Speed up your AJAX (Asynchronous  JavaScript and XML) applications with these.


Google's CDN
Widely used on the internet. Hosts JavaScript libraries (and CSS files for jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile - basic theme) :
  • AngularJS
  • Chrome Frame
  • Dojo
  • Ext Core
  • jQuery
  • jQuery UI
  • jQuery Mobile
  • MooTools
  • Prototype
  • script_aculo_us
  • SWFObject

Go to Google's Hosted Libraries

Microsoft's CDN

Hosts JavaScript libraries and CSS files of the following :
  • jQuery
  • jQuery Migrate
  • jQueryUI
  • jQuery Validation
  • jQuery Mobile
  • jQuery Template
  • jQuery Cycle
  • jQuery DataTables
  • Modernizr

  • Knockout
  • Globalize
  • Bootstrap
  • ASP.NET Ajax
  • ASP.NET Web Forms
  • ASP.NET SignalR

Go to Microsoft Ajax CDN

CDNJS
Powered by CloudFlare. Hosts everything. JavaScript libraries, CSS libraries, SWF objects, images (UI icons) and even moar! You can also submit your libraries.
Tons of awesomeness-es. You can find any library you might need and it will be delivered with lightning speed. No problem for cross-domain thingy.
For instance, they already have libraries for :
  • jQueryUI  (JS and CSS)
  • SyntaxHighlighter (JS and CSS)
  • PrefixFree (JS)
  • Normalize (CSS)
  • Reset (CSS)
  • Modernizr (JS)
  • Twitter Bootstrap (JS and CSS)
  • Prettify (JS and CSS)
  • MathJax (JS and images) 
  • Social Likes (everything, JS, JSON, CSS, images, etc)
And still many, many moar!
Go to CDNJS

JSDELIVR
Used in WordPress. Hosts lots more than Google's or Microsoft's. But, not as "complete" as CDNJS, yet. There are JS, CSS, images, etc. You can submit your libraries too there.
The libraries and contents will be robustly delivered with the speed you can count on. Also, no problem for cross-domain thingy.
