ECMAScript Client Object Model

10. ECMAScript Client OM
ECMAScript Client OM is easily added to a
SharePoint ASPX page - reference:
_layouts/sp.js
Add this using <SharePoint:ScriptLink>
All libraries crunched for performance
Use un-crunched *.debug.js by adding
<SharePoint:ScriptLink … ScriptMode=“Debug” />
Method signatures can be different
Different data value types
