Google hosts a number of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and dojo on their CDN. For some reason, their own Google Closure library does not seem to be included. Is there a hosted version of the Closure library?
If you are developing a large or growing application, you may benefit from the Closure Library's breadth. A well-tested library can insulate you from cross-browser compatibility issues and the minutiae of client-side programming, letting you focus on the fun stuff.
Projects In JavaScript & JQueryGoogle provides CDN support for jQuery via the googleapis.com domain. The latest version of Google CDN provides four different types of jQuery versions- normal (uncompressed), minified, slim, and slim & minified. Google CDN provides the jQuery via ajax.googleapis.com domain.
It's not included because Closure is intended to be used with the compiler; a hosted version would need to include the entire library and defeat the purpose of building minified libraries containing only the features you need.
You can link to their repository:
<script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/closure-library/master/closure/goog/base.js'></script>
good enough for demos or local development. As other answer suggested, production should use compiled code, it is well worth it.
