AMD Modules
AMD helps break down cross-toolkit barriers by using a standard module format and loader
Now, you can more easily make use of 3rd party AMD-compliant modules with recent versions of MooTools, jQuery, underscore, backbone, cujo, eventd, uber, Wink Toolkit, and more without worrying about global conflicts.
Scalable Apps
Build your own custom modules following the standard AMD module format. Alias Dojo’s own modules to whatever variable names you wish.
You now have the option to use a 3rd party AMD loader like Require.js to load Dojo AMD modules!
Backward Compatibility
Begin moving toward the future with new AMD modules, while leveraging your existing investment in Dojo.
Dojo’s AMD loader fully supports loading modules in older Dojo formats, as well as the new AMD module format.
If you’re not yet ready to take on AMD, you can still use Dojo just like always with synchronous loading and Dojo’s original loader and dependency management system.
Powerful Base APIs

DOM Functions
- Query
