The support for these features is included in the API for additional flexibility. How you implement the API on your site and in your application will depend very much on what you're trying to do. If you have a page that depends on the Feeds API, you will want to use the jsapi by including it via a remote script tag, right in the page. If you have a page that doesn't need the API right immediately, or you want to load other primary content faster, you can use the jsapi? callback= method to load the script asynchronously. The autoload params can dramatically clean up your code. And the list goes on and on. Usually, when I load the api for a general page, I do it like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi";></ script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load(...); // the apis I want to load function init(){ // what I want to do onload } google.setOnLoadCallback(init); </script> Jeremy R.
