Last week Packt Publishing announced the winners of the 2010 Open Source Award, I had the chance to be one of the official Judges for the JavaScript Category, and you may pardon me for sharing this one week later as I was traveling last week. I used to be very familiar with most JS libraries available, and I was not surprised at all when the result announced was exactly as I voted. Winner this year of the 2010 Open Source Award - JavaScript Libraries - is jQuery, and the 1st runner up is shared between Raphael JS and Mootools.

jQuery benefit from the largest community compared to all other JavaScript libraries and that's their biggest advantage. The library performance, usability, and ease of use helped to make its adoption higher in many small and large projects. Few years ago, my only take on jQuery was that 3rd party development was maintained by personal developer's efforts, which make upgrade not fun at all. Today there is an answer with UI and mobile project. There is still lot of work to do, and I think they are on the right path.

RaphaelJS however have the smallest community, and it's doing amazing work as it's more specialized library compared to all others. The library need more support and adoption to complete its goals, improve performance, and come with more innovative ideas in the future related to JavaScript vector drawing for the web, and mobile !
