FlickrJS:: A wrapper for Flickr API
by 4 others (via)FlickrJS is a wrapper to use the Flickr API from javascript through xmlhttprequest’s. Or, in a more fancy way, using AJAX techniques to get data without reload the whole page.
By including only a .js file you get access to the whole Flicrk API. You don’t need to know how the request have to be done, or how the XML have to be parsed. The wrapper do all the jobs and lets you specify a callback function on each Flickr Method.
