What JavaScript libraries are known to use the global dollar sign: window.$?

Which JavaScript libraries take over the $ variable in the global scope?

If the library provides a different name on the global namespace, or provides a method to relinquish window.$, could you link to the proper function in their documentation any maybe a little code example of its use?

Having such a list could be useful in debugging potential conflicts with each other very quickly.


Solution 1:

Scanning this page, the only ones that come to mind are:

  • jQuery - Provides jQuery.noConflict() to release the $
  • Prototype
  • MooTools

Solution 2:

Also zepto: http://zeptojs.com/

zepto actually matches most of the jQuery API.
