CDNJS (also stylized as cdnjs) is a free and open-source software (FOSS) content delivery network (CDN) hosted by Cloudflare.[3][4] As of September 2020, it serves 3,919 JavaScript and CSS libraries, which are stored publicly on GitHub.[5][6][7] It is included in millions of websites, or 11.2% of the websites on the Internet, making it the second most popular CDN for JavaScript.[8][9][10]
History[edit]
In January 2011, Ryan Kirkman and Thomas Davis created the service,[11] launching it on GitHub on February 25, 2011.[12][13][14] It initially served content through Amazon CloudFront.[12][15] On June 15, 2011,[16] cdnjs partnered with Cloudflare, who provided the CDN and subdomain cdnjs.cloudflare.com for the project.[12][13][14][17]
On November 1, 2019, the founders turned over control of cdnjs to Cloudflare, citing "technical and commercial reasons."[18] According to the community maintainers, the project was difficult to manage because of limited access to the GitHub repository, inactive founders, and a small budget.[18][19][20] It is estimated the annual budget at the time was approximately $50/yr.[18][21]
Maintenance[edit]
The service is maintained by the community and Cloudflare.[4] As of September 2020, there have been 1,442 contributors to the main GitHub repository.[6]
It is also sponsored by DigitalOcean, Algolia, Heroku, Atlassian, Discourse, SolarWinds, and Sentry.[22][23][24]
API[edit]
There is a public JSON API for developers to query cdnjs library metadata.[25][26]
Connection Protocols[edit]
Resources on cdnjs can be loaded using HTTP/2, HTTP, HTTPS or SPDY.[5][24][27]
The cdnjs.cloudflare.com domain is part of the HSTS preload list.[28]
Mirrors[edit]
There exist websites that host clones of cdnjs libraries on their own servers.
