JSter #184 - Libraries and more

Mama always said life was like a box of JavaScript libraries

A lot of libraries this time. That’s all.

I also wrote documentation for my JSON based templating solution called Breezewind. It’s the core of jster.net and you can think it as a React inspired way to handle templates.
