Google’s AJAX API Playground

By James Fee | Published: January 23, 2009

Google has a new tool that helps developers learn and test code for Google’s JavaScript APIs (similar to Microsoft’s VE Interactive SDK).  The interactive AJAX APIs Playgound has an easy interface that allows users to interact with Google’s JavaScript APIs (Visualization, Search, Language, Blogger, Libraries, Maps, Earth, Feeds, and Calendar).   Google also open sourced the API playgound so maybe we’ll be seeing more of it with other APIs in the near future (cough ESRI JavaScript API cough).

    Wish there were ones for lots of APIs. W3Schools has a good one for javascript. I like playgrounds.

    Anyone considering using the other APIs, like Calendar, may do well to jump in now for the standard edition (free). As part of Google’s move to firm up revenue they are increasingly becoming more restrictive on the user limits (from 200, to 100, and now at 50).

      i just want to find out about the google API from the GIS programmers out there.This API is free right? As in there are no licensing restriction to where and what i use it for.Its a question that has always bugged me.Are there an foreseeable disadvantges of using this API in terms of licensing and costs, seeing that they keep on tightening the noose on number of users.
