The jQuery JavaScript library has excellent support for extensibility through plug-ins that you can consume, write, and share. In this article, learn about the benefits of creating a jQuery plug-in. Get started with a basic template, and then create a relatively simple plug-in example that adds Google Map support to your web page.
