Amplify: a jQuery component library for solving common web problems.

This is not my cup of tea.

1. I don't like magic string names like "AjaxExample1". Why not return an object, and use:

var AjaxExpample1 = amplify.request...

2. It is not clear how you mix get parameters and post data. If I want to POST to "/users/{id}/", how do I separate the post values from the parameter?

For concern #2, If they parameter names are found in the request, they are replaced in the url and removed from the POST form data. Full explaination here: http://amplifyjs.com/api/request/#url_substitution/routing

This is true, but the examples are incomplete. The "RESTful" POST example excludes parameters in the URL. Small mistake, but very confusing.

I'd fix it, but they don't mention how to submit patches.

They do mention it. It's a little bit hidden, but see http://amplifyjs.com/community/#pull_requests
