This document introduces the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library and highlights its key features and advantages for web development. YUI 3 aims to make development lighter, faster and easier by providing a consistent API, optimized code, and the ability to load only required modules. It helps address inconsistencies in the browser environment and makes tasks like DOM manipulation, event handling and data fetching simpler. The library is open source and supported by a large community and gallery of additional components. Developers are encouraged to use YUI to focus on their ideas rather than browser quirks.
